Starting from the given expression:
(-3) ÷ (3/4) × (2/7) × (-5/16) ÷ (5/7)
First, simplify the division by multiplying by the reciprocal:
(-3) × (4/3) × (2/7) × (-5/16) × (7/5)
Now, simplify the multiplication:
(-3/1) × (4/3) × (2/7) × (-5/16) × (7/5)
Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
(-3 × 4 × 2 × -5 × 7) / (1 × 3 × 7 × 16 × 5)
Simplify:
(-840) / (1680)
Simplify further by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 840:
-1/2
So, the final answer is -1/2.
(-3)÷(3/4)times (2/7) times(-5/16)÷5/7)
