Q. Evaluate the expression shown below and write your answer as a fraction in simplest form 37÷611×35-\frac{3}{7}\div\frac{6}{11}\times\frac{3}{5}
  1. Rewrite division as multiplication: Rewrite the division as multiplication by the reciprocal.\newlineTo divide by a fraction, you multiply by its reciprocal. The reciprocal of 611\frac{6}{11} is 116\frac{11}{6}.\newlineSo, 37÷611-\frac{3}{7} \div \frac{6}{11} becomes 37×116.-\frac{3}{7} \times \frac{11}{6}.
  2. Multiply first two fractions: Multiply the first two fractions.\newlineNow we multiply 37−\frac{3}{7} by 116\frac{11}{6}.\newline(37)×(116)=(3×11)/(7×6)=3342(−\frac{3}{7}) \times (\frac{11}{6}) = (−3 \times 11) / (7 \times 6) = −\frac{33}{42}.
  3. Simplify the fraction: Simplify the fraction.\newlineBefore we continue, let's simplify 3342\frac{-33}{42}.\newlineBoth the numerator and the denominator are divisible by 33.\newline3342=(33÷3)(42÷3)=1114\frac{-33}{42} = \frac{(-33 \div 3)}{(42 \div 3)} = \frac{-11}{14}.
  4. Multiply by third fraction: Multiply the simplified fraction by the third fraction.\newlineNow we multiply 1114\frac{-11}{14} by 35\frac{3}{5}.\newline(1114)×(35)=11×314×5=3370\left(\frac{-11}{14}\right) \times \left(\frac{3}{5}\right) = \frac{-11 \times 3}{14 \times 5} = \frac{-33}{70}.
  5. Check for further simplification: Check if the final fraction can be simplified.\newlineThe fraction 3370-\frac{33}{70} cannot be simplified further because 3333 and 7070 have no common factors other than 11.
