To solve this expression, we can follow the order of operations, which is to perform operations inside parentheses first, then multiplication and division from left to right.
Starting with the expression:
(−2) × (1/5) ÷ (2/3) × (−5/6) ÷ (3/4)
First, let's simplify the multiplication and division of fractions:
1/5 × -5/6 = -5/30 = -1/6 (numerator multiplied by numerator and denominator multiplied by denominator)
2/3 ÷ 3/4 = 8/9 (numerator multiplied by reciprocal of denominator)
Now, we can simplify the remaining operations:
-2 × -1/6 × 8/9 = 2/3 (multiplied numerators and denominators)
Therefore, the solution is 2/3.
Use the properties of operations and rules for multiplying and dividing to solve:
(−2) × (1/5) ÷ (2/3) × (−5/6) ÷ (3/4) =
