Short Answer

Expert verified

On simplifying the given expression, we get

$鈭� \frac{3}{8} 梅 (鈭� \frac{3}{10}) = \frac{5}{4}$

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given information

$\begin{array}{l} Theexpressiongivenis \\ 鈭� \frac{3}{8} 梅 (鈭� \frac{3}{10}) \\ Wehavetosimplifythegivenexpression. \end{array}$

Step 2. Rewrite the expression

$\begin{array}{l} Todivide,multiplythefirstfractionbythereciprocalofthesecond. \\ 鈬� 鈭� \frac{3}{8} 梅 (鈭� \frac{3}{10}) = 鈭� \frac{3}{8} 脳 (鈭� \frac{10}{3}) \\ Determinethesignoftheproduct,andthenmultiply \\ 鈬� 鈭� \frac{3}{8} 梅 (鈭� \frac{3}{10}) = \frac{3 脳 10}{8 脳 3} [Signofproduct, (鈭�) (鈭�) = (+)] \\ 鈬� 鈭� \frac{3}{8} 梅 (鈭� \frac{3}{10}) = \frac{30}{24} \end{array}$

Step 3. Simplify the fraction

$\begin{array}{l} 鈬� 鈭� \frac{3}{8} 梅 (鈭� \frac{3}{10}) = \frac{30}{24} \\ 鈬� 鈭� \frac{3}{8} 梅 (鈭� \frac{3}{10}) = \frac{6 脳 5}{6 脳 4} \\ 鈬� 鈭� \frac{3}{8} 梅 (鈭� \frac{3}{10}) = \frac{5}{4} \end{array}$
