(-3/5)×(5/16)×(7/12)÷(-3/16)×(-5/7)

1 answer

To simplify the expression

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

we can cancel out common factors in the numerators and denominators:

(-3/5) × (5/16) × (7/12) ÷ (-3/16) × (-5/7) = (-1/1) × (1/1) × (1/2) ÷ (-1/16) × (-1/1) =

-1/2 ÷ 1/16 = -1/2 × 16/1 = -16/2 = -8.

Therefore, the simplified expression is -8.
