Question

Use the properties of operations and rules for multiplying and dividing to solve:
(-3)➗(3/4) x (-5/16)➗(5/7)

Answer 1

To solve this expression, we can follow the order of operations and apply the properties of operations:

1. First, let's simplify the expression within each set of parentheses:
(-3) ➗ (3/4) = -3 x (4/3) = -12/3 = -4

(-5/16) ➗ (5/7) = (-5/16) x (7/5) = -35/80 = -7/16

2. Now, let's multiply the results together:
-4 x (-7/16) = (-4) x (-7) / (16) = 28/16

3. Finally, we can simplify the fraction:
28/16 = 7/4

Therefore, (-3) ➗ (3/4) x (-5/16) ➗ (5/7) = 7/4.
