To solve this problem, we will apply the properties of operations and rules for multiplying and dividing signed numbers.
First, let's simplify the expression step by step:
(-4) x (7/5) x (-3/4) ÷ (7/15)
Step 1: Simplify the multiplication.
(-4) x (-3) = 12
Step 2: Simplify the division.
(7/5) ÷ (7/15) = (7/5) x (15/7) = (7 x 15) / (5 x 7) = 105/35
Step 3: Combine the multiplication and division.
12 x (105/35) = 12 x (3/1) = 12 x 3 = 36
Therefore, the solution is 36.
None of the answer choices provide 36 as an option. But we can simplify 36 to get the correct answer:
36 = 36/1
So, the solution is 36/1.
Comparing the answer choices, we can see that:
36/1 = 36/1
Thus, the correct answer is not listed among the given options.
