Short Answer

Expert verified

On simplifying the given expression, we get

$鈭� \frac{3}{12} 梅 (鈭� \frac{5}{9}) = \frac{9}{20}$

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given information

$\begin{array}{l} Theexpressiongivenis \\ 鈭� \frac{3}{12} 梅 (鈭� \frac{5}{9}) \\ Wehavetosimplifythegivenexpression. \end{array}$

Step 2. Rewrite the expression

$\begin{array}{l} Todivide,multiplythefirstfractionbythereciprocalofthesecond. \\ 鈬� 鈭� \frac{3}{12} 梅 (鈭� \frac{5}{9}) = 鈭� \frac{3}{12} 脳 (鈭� \frac{9}{5}) \\ Determinethesignoftheproduct,andthenmultiply \\ 鈬� 鈭� \frac{3}{12} 梅 (鈭� \frac{5}{9}) = \frac{3 脳 9}{12 脳 5} [Signofproduct, (鈭�) (鈭�) = (+)] \\ 鈬� 鈭� \frac{3}{12} 梅 (鈭� \frac{5}{9}) = \frac{27}{60} \end{array}$

Step 3. Simplify the fraction

$\begin{array}{l} 鈬� 鈭� \frac{3}{12} 梅 (鈭� \frac{5}{9}) = \frac{27}{60} \\ 鈬� 鈭� \frac{3}{12} 梅 (鈭� \frac{5}{9}) = \frac{3 脳 9}{3 脳 20} \\ 鈬� 鈭� \frac{3}{12} 梅 (鈭� \frac{5}{9}) = \frac{9}{20} \end{array}$
