Answer:

The simplified expression is
(10)/(3 a^2 b)

Explanation:

The given expression is:


(15b)/(4) * (8)/(9a^2 b^2)

Multiply the items in the numerator together ( 15b * 8 = 120 b). Also multiply the items in the denominator together ( 4 * 9a²b² = 36a²b²). The expression thus becomes:


= (120b)/(36 a^2 b^2) \\\\

Divide both the numerator and the denominator by 12b:


= (120b /12b)/(36 a^2 b^2/12b)

The expression finally becomes:


= (10)/(3 a^2 b)
