(-4) × *7/5) × (-3/4) ÷ (7/15)

1 answer

To simplify the expression \((-4) \times \left(\frac{7}{5}\right) \times \left(-\frac{3}{4}\right) \div \left(\frac{7}{15}\right)\), we can follow two main steps: multiplication and division.

First, let's rewrite the division as multiplication by the reciprocal:

\[ (-4) \times \left(\frac{7}{5}\right) \times \left(-\frac{3}{4}\right) \times \left(\frac{15}{7}\right) \]

Now we can calculate the product step by step.

  1. Calculate the product of the first two numbers:

\[ (-4) \times \left(-\frac{3}{4}\right) = \frac{12}{4} = 3 \]

  1. Now multiply this result by \(\left(\frac{7}{5}\right)\):

\[ 3 \times \left(\frac{7}{5}\right) = \frac{21}{5} \]

  1. Finally, multiply this result by \(\left(\frac{15}{7}\right)\):

\[ \left(\frac{21}{5}\right) \times \left(\frac{15}{7}\right) = \frac{21 \times 15}{5 \times 7} = \frac{315}{35} \]

  1. Simplifying \(\frac{315}{35}\):

\[ \frac{315 \div 35}{35 \div 35} = \frac{9}{1} = 9 \]

Thus, the final result of the expression is:

\[ \boxed{9} \]
