### Multiplying Rational Expressions

To multiply rational expressions, we use the rule for multiplying rational expressions by factoring the numerators and denominators to remove any common factors. Here’s a detailed example to demonstrate this process.

#### Example: Multiply 

\[ \frac{25a^3}{11b} \cdot \frac{b}{5a} \]

To find the product, we use the following steps:

1. **Multiplying the Numerators and Denominators:**

   \[ \frac{25a^3}{11b} \cdot \frac{b}{5a} = \frac{25a^3 \cdot b}{11b \cdot 5a} \]

2. **Factoring Common Factors:**

   It is apparent that both the numerator and denominator have common factors such as 5, \(a\), and \(b\). Breaking them down:

   \[ \frac{25a^3 \cdot b}{11b \cdot 5a} = \frac{5 \cdot 5 \cdot a \cdot a \cdot a \cdot b}{11 \cdot b \cdot 5 \cdot a} \]

3. **Simplifying the Expression:**

   Next, we simplify by replacing common factors:

   \[ \frac{5 \cdot 5 \cdot a \cdot a \cdot a \cdot b}{11 \cdot b \cdot 5 \cdot a} = \frac{1 \cdot 5 \cdot 1 \cdot a \cdot a \cdot 1}{11 \cdot 1 \cdot 1 \cdot a} \]

   \[ 5 = \frac{5a^2}{11} \]

4. **Final Result:**

   \[ \frac{5a^2}{11} \]

Thus, the simplified form of the product is: 

\[ \frac{5a^2}{11} \]

### Practice Problem: Multiply

\[ \frac{x^{11}}{10y} \cdot \frac{15y}{11x^7} \]

Follow the same steps as above to simplify the expression.
