Problem
Solution 1
By the associative property, we can rearrange the numbers in the numerator and the denominator. ![\[\frac{3}{3}\cdot \frac{5}{5}\cdot\frac{7}{7}\cdot\frac{9}{9}\cdot\frac{11}{11}=1\cdot1\cdot1\cdot1\cdot1=\boxed{\text{(A)} 1}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/7/4/e/74ebc66bd380cf23e5e3c2a5c8e17afa3e4dd652.png)
Solution 2 (Brute force)
Multlipication gives:
\[\frac{15}{99\cdot\frac{693}{105}=\frac{10395}{10395}=\boxed{\text{(A)}\ 1}.\] (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)
