To solve this expression, we need to follow the order of operations (PEMDAS).
First, we simplify the inside of the brackets:
(- 3) ÷ (3/4) x (2/7) x (- 5/16) ÷ (5/7)
= -3 ÷ (3/4) x (2/7) x (-5/16) ÷ (5/7)
Next, we simplify the division:
= -3 x (4/3) x (2/7) x (-5/16) ÷ (5/7)
= (-3 x 4 x 2 x -5) ÷ (3 x 7 x 16 ÷ 5)
Now, we multiply:
= (-60) ÷ (336/5)
To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal:
= (-60) x (5/336)
= -300 / 336
= -25/28
So, (- 3) ÷ (3/4) x (2/7) x (- 5/16) ÷ (5/7) equals -25/28.
(- 3)÷(3/4)x(2/7)x(- 5/16)÷(5/7]
