Answer:


(14)/(55)

Explanation:

note that

n! = n(n - 1)(n - 2) .... × 3 × 2 × 1

Given


(8!9!)/(5!12!)

Cancel the terms from 8! ( 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 ) with the same terms from

5! ( 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 ) leaving

8 × 7 × 6 = 336 on the numerator

Similarly

Cancel the terms from 9! and 12!

leaving 12 × 11 × 10 = 1320 on the denominator, thus simplifies to


(336)/(1320)

=
(14)/(55)
