Question

this math stuff is going to be the death of me!
multiply and simplify:
6a^8/5v^2 times 25v^4/36a

So far I have 150a^8v^4/180v^2a

Answer 1

not this....
let's try:\[6a ^{8} * 25v ^{4}\div5v ^{2}*36a\]
do you see what could be canceled out?

Answer 2

\[a ^{7}v ^{2}*5/6\]

Answer 3

The easiest way of solving this problem is to simplify it by using cancellation.

6a^8 and 36a can be cancelled as a^7 and 6
25v^4 and 5v^2 can be cancelled as 5v^2 and 1

Now the problem looks like this:
(a^7)(5v^2/6)=5a^7v^2/6

Answer 4

I kinda understand how you got a^7 v^2 but I do not understand the rest

Answer 5

ok I get it now, took me a minute though LOL. Thank you both!

Answer 6

You're welcome
