Simplify Exponent: Simplify the exponent (−23)−1. To simplify an exponent with a negative power, take the reciprocal of the base. This gives us 3−2.
Multiply Numbers: Multiply (−36) by ((−35)/(76)).This gives us (−36)×(−35)/76. Multiplying the numerators together and keeping the denominator the same, we get 1260/76.
Simplify Result: Simplify 1260/76. Dividing 1260 by 76, we get 16.5789473684. However, we should keep it in fraction form for now to maintain precision until the final calculation. So, we have 1260/76 as is.
Multiply Fractions: Multiply the result from Step 3 by (1519). We multiply the numerators together and the denominators together, which gives us (1260×19)/(76×15).
Calculate Multiplication: Calculate the multiplication of the numerators and denominators.This gives us 114023940. We can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor.
Simplify Result: Simplify 23940/1140. Dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 20, we get 1197/57.
Multiply Fractions: Multiply the result from Step 6 by the result from Step 1, which is (−2)/(3).Multiplying the numerators together and the denominators together, we get (1197×−2)/(57×3).
Calculate Multiplication: Calculate the multiplication of the numerators and denominators.This gives us −2394/171. We can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 1 in this case, so the fraction is already in its simplest form.
Convert to Decimal: Convert the fraction −2394/171 to a decimal to find the final answer.Dividing −2394 by 171, we get approximately −14.
