Answer

$\frac{(t-5)(3t+1)(2t+11)}{(3t)(2t-55)(t+1)}$

Work Step by Step

In factored form, the given is equivalent to $$ \frac{6t(t-5)}{(2t-55)(t+1)}\cdot\frac{(3t+1)(2t+11)}{6t(3t)} .$$ Cancelling factors that are common to both the numerator and the denominator, the expression above is equivalent to $$\begin{aligned} & \frac{\color{red}{6t}\color{black}(t-5)}{(2t-55)(t+1)}\cdot\frac{(3t+1)(2t+11)}{\color{red}{6t}\color{black}(3t)} \\&= \frac{(t-5)(3t+1)(2t+11)}{(3t)(2t-55)(t+1)} .\end{aligned}$$Hence, the given expression simplifies to $\frac{(t-5)(3t+1)(2t+11)}{(3t)(2t-55)(t+1)}$.
