#color(green)(80/(57n))#

First, let's simplify each fraction.

#96/(38n) = 48/(19n) color(blue)and 25/35 = 5/9#

Now rewrite.

#48/(19n) * 5/9#

Remember that #(a/b * c/d) = ((atimesc)/(btimesd))#

#(48times5)/(19ntimes9)#

Simplify.

#240/(171n)#

Simplify again.

#(80cancel(240))/(57ncancel(171n))#

And there's your answer!

#color(green)(80/(57n))#
