Answer:

2. 3/2

3. 2

4. 9/8

5. 6

Explanation:

The usual procedure is to invert the denominator and multiply. Here, you're asked to cancel common factors before you do the multiplication.


\textbf{2. }(9)/(10)/(3)/(5)=(9)/(10)*(5)/(3)=(3\cdot3\cdot5)/(2\cdot5\cdot3)=\boxed{(3)/(2)}\\\\\textbf{3. }(2)/(3)/(2)/(6)=(2)/(3)*(6)/(2)=(2\cdot3\cdot2)/(3\cdot2)=\boxed{2}\\\\\textbf{4. }(3)/(4)/(2)/(3)=(3)/(4)*(3)/(2)=(3\cdot3)/(4\cdot2)=\boxed{(9)/(8)}\\\\\textbf{5. }(2)/(1)/(1)/(3)=(2)/(1)*(3)/(1)=(2\cdot3)/(1\cdot1)=\boxed{6}
