To solve this expression, we can multiply and divide the fractions in the order they appear, while applying the properties of operations and the rules for multiplying and dividing fractions:

(−3/5) × (5/16) × (7/12) ÷ (−3/16) × (−5/7)


First, let's start by multiplying the fractions:

(−3/5) * (5/16) * (7/12) ÷ (−3/16) * (−5/7)

(-3 * 5 * 7) / (5 * 16 * 12) ÷ (-3 * -5) / (16 * 7)

(-105) / (960) ÷ (15) / (112)

Next, let's simplify each fraction:

(-105) / (960) = -7/64

(15) / (112) = 5/37

Now we can divide the fractions:

(-7/64) ÷ (5/37)

To divide fractions, multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:

(-7/64) * (37/5)

(-7 * 37) / (64 * 5)

(-259) / (320)

Therefore, the expression (-3/5) × (5/16) × (7/12) ÷ (−3/16) × (−5/7) simplifies to -259/320.

Apologies for the mistake. Let's go through the calculation again.

(−3/5) × (5/16) × (7/12) ÷ (−3/16) × (−5/7)

First, we can simplify the negative signs:

(-3/5) × (5/16) × (7/12) ÷ (3/16) × (5/7)

Next, let's multiply the fractions together:

((-3)(5)(7))/((5)(16)(12)) ÷ ((3)(5))/(16)(7)

(-105)/(960) ÷ (15)/(112)

To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:

(-105)/(960) * (112)/(15)

Simplify the multiplication:

(-105)(112)/(960)(15)

(-11760)/(14400)

Now, we can simplify the fraction:

(-392)/(480)

Finally, we can simplify the fraction further by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 8:

(-392 ÷ 8)/(480 ÷ 8)

(-49)/(60)

Therefore, the expression (-3/5) × (5/16) × (7/12) ÷ (−3/16) × (−5/7) simplifies to -49/60.

I apologize for the mistakes in my previous responses. Let's go through the calculation again:

(−3/5) × (5/16) × (7/12) ÷ (−3/16) × (−5/7)

First, let's simplify the negative signs:

(-3/5) × (5/16) × (7/12) ÷ (3/16) × (5/7)

Next, let's multiply the fractions together:

((-3)(5)(7))/((5)(16)(12)) ÷ ((3)(5))/(16)(7)

(-105)/(960) ÷ (15)/(112)

To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:

(-105)/(960) * (112)/(15)

Simplify the multiplication:

(-105)(112)/(960)(15)

(-11760)/(14400)

Now, we can simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 240:

(-11760 ÷ 240)/(14400 ÷ 240)

(-49)/(60)

Therefore, the correct answer is -49/60.

Apologies for the confusion. Let's solve the expression again:

(−3/5) × (5/16) × (7/12) ÷ (−3/16) × (−5/7)

First, let's simplify the negative signs:

(3/5) × (5/16) × (7/12) ÷ (3/16) × (5/7)

Next, let's multiply the fractions together:

(3 * 5 * 7) / (5 * 16 * 12) ÷ (3 * 5) / (16 * 7)

(105) / (960) ÷ (15) / (112)

To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:

(105) / (960) * (112) / (15)

Simplify the multiplication:

(105 * 112) / (960 * 15)

11760 / 14400

Now, let's simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 240:

(11760 ÷ 240) / (14400 ÷ 240)

49 / 60

Therefore, the expression (−3/5) × (5/16) × (7/12) ÷ (−3/16) × (−5/7) simplifies to 49/60.

Next, let's multiply the fractions together:

((-3)(5)(7))/((5)(16)(12)) ÷ ((3)(16))/(16)(7)

(-105)/(960) ÷ (48)/(112)

To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:

(-105)/(960) * (112)/(48)

Simplify the multiplication:

(-105)(112)/(960)(48)

(-11760)/(46080)

Now, we can simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 240:

(-11760 ÷ 240)/(46080 ÷ 240)

(-49)/(192)

Therefore, the expression (-3/5) × (5/16) × (7/12) ÷ (-3/16) × (-5/7) simplifies to -49/192.

Apologies once again for the incorrect responses. Let's solve the expression correctly this time:

(-3/5) × (5/16) × (7/12) ÷ (-3/16) × (-5/7)

First, let's simplify the negative signs:

(-3/5) × (5/16) × (7/12) ÷ (3/16) × (5/7)

Next, let's multiply the fractions together:

((-3)(5)(7))/((5)(16)(12)) ÷ ((3)(16))/(16)(7)

(-105)/(960) ÷ (48)/(112)

To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:

(-105)/(960) * (112)/(48)

Simplify the multiplication:

(-105)(112)/(960)(48)

(-11760)/(46080)

Now, let's simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 240:

(-11760 ÷ 240)/(46080 ÷ 240)

-49/192

Therefore, the expression (-3/5) × (5/16) × (7/12) ÷ (-3/16) × (-5/7) simplifies to -49/192.
