Answer 6

ok Perform the indicated operation and, if possible, simplify. Please show all of your work. -15/28 * (-4/25)*(3)

Answer 7

(15/28)(-4/25)(3)

To make this problem easier to work with you can cancel some numbers.

15 and 25 can be simplified by dividing 15 by 5 to get 3 and 25 divided by 5 gives 5.

-4 and 28 can be simplified by dividing by 4: -4 divided by 4 gives -1 and 28 divided by 4 gives 7.

Now the problem looks like this:

(3/7)(-1/5)(3) = -9/35 which is the answer
