Bot use the properties of operations and rules for multiplying and dividing to solve: (-2) x (1/5) divided by (2/3) x (-5/6) divided by (3/4) Pick one of these answers. -1/6 2/3 -2/3 1/6
To solve the expression, let's simplify each part step by step:
First, let's simplify (-2) x (1/5), which gives us -2/5.
Now, let's simplify (2/3) x (-5/6), which gives us -10/18. Simplifying further, we get -5/9.
Next, we'll divide (-2/5) by (-5/9). To divide fractions, we multiply the dividend by the reciprocal of the divisor. So, (-2/5) divided by (-5/9) becomes (-2/5) x (9/-5).
Multiplying these fractions gives us (-2 x 9) / (5 x -5), which simplifies to -18/(-25).
Lastly, let's divide (-18/(-25)) by (3/4). Dividing fractions can be done by multiplying the dividend by the reciprocal of the divisor. Thus, we have (-18/(-25)) divided by (3/4) as (-18/(-25)) x (4/3).
Multiplying these fractions, we obtain (-18 x 4) / (-25 x 3), which simplifies to -72 / -75.
Now, let's simplify -72 / -75. When dividing two negative numbers, the result is positive. Hence, -72 / -75 equals 72 / 75.
To verify if this fraction can be further simplified, we can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 72 and 75, which is 3. By dividing 72 and 75 by 3, we get 24 and 25, respectively.
So, 72/75 can be simplified to 24/25.
Therefore, the answer is 24/25.

Bot use the properties of operations and rules for multiplying and dividing to solve the following problem: (17/6) divided by (4/17) x (7/34) x (-1) x (6/17). Pick one of these answers. -14/289 -2,856/58,956 -7/8 -7/578
To solve the expression, let's simplify each part step by step:
First, let's simplify (17/6) divided by (4/17). To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. So, (17/6) divided by (4/17) becomes (17/6) x (17/4).
Multiplying these fractions gives us (17 x 17) / (6 x 4), which simplifies to 289/24.
Next, let's multiply by (7/34). Multiplying fractions is done by multiplying the numerators and multiplying the denominators. So, (289/24) x (7/34) is (289 x 7) / (24 x 34).
Multiplying these fractions gives us 2023/816.
Now, let's multiply by (-1). When multiplying a fraction by -1, the sign changes. So, (-1) x (2023/816) is equal to -2023/816.
Lastly, let's multiply by (6/17). Multiplying fractions is done by multiplying the numerators and multiplying the denominators. So, (-2023/816) x (6/17) is (-2023 x 6) / (816 x 17).
Multiplying these fractions gives us -12,138 / 13,872.
Now, let's simplify -12,138 / 13,872. To find if this fraction can be further simplified, we find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 12,138 and 13,872, which is 126.
By dividing 12,138 and 13,872 by 126, we get 96 and 110, respectively.
So, -12,138 / 13,872 can be simplified to -96/110. Dividing both the numerator and denominator by their common factor of 4, we get -24/27.
Further simplifying the fraction, we divide both the numerator and denominator by their common factor of 3, resulting in -8/9.
Therefore, the answer is -8/9.
