Simplify: 4x^2/16x^3 (four x square divided by sixteen x cube)

Answer 1

\[\frac{4x^2}{16x^3}=\frac{4 \times x \times x}{4 \times 4 \times x \times x \times x}\]

Answer 2

You have common factors of 4 and (x times x) above and below. You can cancel these out to get\[\frac{1}{4x}\]

Answer 3

16x^2y/24xy^3

Answer 4

2x/3y^2 is this correct?

Answer 5

\[\frac{16x^2y}{24xy^3}=\frac{2x}{3y^2}\]Yes, that's correct.
