Answer:

The expression can be simplified as
17(1)/(2)m·n

Explanation:

Given the expression:

(m·5/2·n·7/2)·2


(m(5)/(2) n(7)/(2) )2=(m(35)/(4) n)2=m(70)/(4) n=(70)/(4) mn

The fraction can be expressed as:

\frac{70}{4}=\frac{68+2}{4}=\frac{68}{4}+\frac{2}{4}=17+\frac{1}{2}=17\frac{1}{2}

The expression can be simplified as
17(1)/(2)m·n
