(-3/5)*(5/16)*(7/12)/(-3/16)*(-5/7)
To simplify the expression, we can cancel out common factors in the numerator and denominator:
(-3/5)*(5/16)*(7/12)/(-3/16)*(-5/7)
= (-3/5)*(1/16)*(7/12)/(-1/16)*(-5/7)
= (-3/5)*(7/12)/(-1/16)*(-5/7)
= (-3/5)*(7/12)/((1/16)*(5/7))
= (-3/5)*(7/12)/((1*5)/(16*7))
= (-3/5)*(7/12)/(5/112)
= (-3/5)*(7/12)*(112/5)
= (-3*7*112)/(5*12*5)
= (-2352)/(300)
= -7.84
Therefore, (-3/5)*(5/16)*(7/12)/(-3/16)*(-5/7) simplifies to -7.84.
no its not
I apologize, let's go through the simplification process again:
(-3/5)*(5/16)*(7/12)/(-3/16)*(-5/7)
First, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
= (-3 * 5 * 7) / (5 * 16 * 12) / (-3 * -5 * 16 * 7)
Next, cancel out common factors:
= (-3 * 1) / (1 * 16 * 12) / (-1 * 16 * 1)
= -3 / (16 * 12) / (16 * 1)
= -3 / (192) / (16)
= -3 / (192 * 16)
Now, simplify the expression:
= -3 / 3072
Therefore, (-3/5)*(5/16)*(7/12)/(-3/16)*(-5/7) simplifies to -3/3072.
