i think so it doesnt say the sign
jagr2713 (jagr2713):
Is there choices
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no we have to determine that but i think its multiply
jagr2713 (jagr2713):
Well first we apply the rule :\[\frac{ a }{ b }\times \frac{ c }{ d }=\frac{ ac }{ bd }\]

So we get
\[\frac{ 5\times -7\times 16 }{ 8\times 12\times 25 }\]
what do we do next?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
we simplify
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Simply multiply them..ans would be with a -be sign
jagr2713 (jagr2713):
Goo so we get\[-\frac{ 560 }{ 8\times 12\times 25 }\]
jagr2713 (jagr2713):

use pemdas
5/8 (-7/12) 16/25
-(5*7*16)/(25*12*8)=
OpenStudy (anonymous):
56/240
jagr2713 (jagr2713):
Next we simplify
\[\frac{ 560 }{ 2400 } \ \to \frac{ 7 }{ 30 }\]
jagr2713 (jagr2713):
You get it @harz360
OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
-(5*7*16)/(25*12*8)=-7/30
jagr2713 (jagr2713):
SOrry -7/30
jagr2713 (jagr2713):
@harz360 what number do you use that when you divide by 560 gives you 80 and same for 2400
jagr2713 (jagr2713):
560 is 7 right?
an 2400 is 30 right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes i understand
