To solve the expression given, we can use the properties of operations and follow the order of operations (PEMDAS).
First, let's simplify the multiplication of the first two terms: (-2) × (1/5) = -2/5.
Next, let's simplify the multiplication of the next two terms: (-2/5) ÷ (2/3) = (-2/5) × (3/2) = -6/10 = -3/5.
Finally, let's multiply the last term: (-3/5) × (-5/6) = (3/5) × (5/6) = 15/30 = 1/2.
Therefore, the simplified expression is 1/2 or Start Fraction 1 over 2 End Fraction.

dividing to solve:
(9)÷(5/4)×(7/9)×(−5)÷(7/2)
To solve the expression given, we can use the properties of operations and follow the order of operations (PEMDAS).
First, let's simplify the division of the first term: (9) ÷ (5/4) = (9) * (4/5) = 36/5.
Next, let's multiply the next term: (36/5) × (7/9) = (36/5) * (7/9) = 252/45 = 84/15 = 28/5.
Finally, let's divide the last term: (28/5) ÷ (7/2) = (28/5) * (2/7) = 56/35 = 8/5.
Therefore, the simplified expression is 8/5 or Start Fraction 8 over 5 End Fraction.
