Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Multiply the numerators of all fractions.
  • Step 2: Multiply the denominators of all fractions.
  • Step 3: Simplify the resulting fraction.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: Multiply the numerators: 1×2×7=141 \times 2 \times 7 = 14.
Step 2: Multiply the denominators: 3×4×5=603 \times 4 \times 5 = 60.
Step 3: The resulting fraction is 1460\frac{14}{60}. Now, we simplify this fraction.

To simplify 1460\frac{14}{60}, find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 14 and 60, which is 2. Divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCD:
1460=14÷260÷2=730\frac{14}{60} = \frac{14 \div 2}{60 \div 2} = \frac{7}{30}.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 730 \frac{7}{30} , which corresponds to choice 3.

Answer

730 \frac{7}{30}
