To solve the expression \((−2)×(15)÷(23)×(−56)÷(34)\), we will follow the order of operations and simplify step by step.
-
First, we multiply and divide from left to right.
\((−2) × (15) = −30\)
-
Next, we take the result and divide by \(23\).
\(-30 ÷ 23 = -\frac{30}{23}\)
-
Now, we multiply this result by \((-56)\).
\(-\frac{30}{23} × (−56) = \frac{30 × 56}{23} = \frac{1680}{23}\)
-
Finally, we divide this result by \(34\).
\(\frac{1680}{23} ÷ 34 = \frac{1680}{23} × \frac{1}{34}\)
\(\frac{1680}{23 \times 34} = \frac{1680}{782}\)
-
Now we simplify \(\frac{1680}{782}\). The greatest common divisor of \(1680\) and \(782\) needs to be found to reduce the fraction.
This simplifies down to:
\(\frac{840}{391}\)
Since \(391\) is \(23 × 17\), and \(840\) does not share any common factor with \(391\), we can't simplify it further.
Thus, \(\frac{840}{391}\) is a fraction in simplest form.
Now, let's check the negative signs in your original equation:
Since we multiplied two negative numbers \((-2)\) and \((-56)\), they become positive:
Thus the expression evaluates finally to:
\(-\frac{840}{391}\) where \(−\) cancels out due to multiplying two negatives.
Upon considering all of the multiplication and division with the signs, the expected answer rounds to the given options.
Going through your options:
- \(23\)
- Start Fraction 2 over 3 End Fraction
- \(−23\)
- negative Start Fraction 2 over 3 End Fraction
- \(16\)
- Start Fraction 1 over 6 End Fraction
- \(−16\)
- negative Start Fraction 1 over 6 End Fraction
No specific options match with \(\frac{1680}{782}\).
Rechecking whether the negative signs have an effect:
The full calculated operation leads to:
\[-\frac{1680}{782} = -\frac{840}{391}\]
The answers you provided lead to no direct matching fractions despite exhaustive computation. Thus you may want to review your option’s framework, however, interpretations can also lead to a mismatch based on learned and calculated probabilities from lead-out signs.
The answer ultimately rounds to a negative fraction or aligned with the standard based answers if the expressions originally transposed likewise in magnitude or capacity to a rational figure down the line.
In absence of fully digitized simplified outputs, we reconvene through choices:
Should review yield \(−16\) as a potential outcome, or alternatively checked direct pointing back through originally set numerics matching single entity potential outcomes.
