Solution

Firstly consider LHS((16÷6/5)÷9/10
Convert ÷ to ×
(16/1×5/6)÷9/10(16×5/1×6)÷9/10
80/6÷9/10
Convert ÷ to ×
80/6×10/9
80×10/6×9=800/54=800/54
By dividing further by 2 into lowest terms we get,
800/50=400/27
RHS:(16)÷(6/5÷9/10)
Convert ÷ to ×
16÷(6/5×10/9)
16÷(6×10/5×9)
16÷60/45
Convert ÷ to ×
16/1×45/60
16×45/1×60=720/60
By dividing further by 60 into lowest terms we get,
720/60=12
