Need the steps please. (3y+12)/(8y^3 ) ÷ (9y+36)/(16y^3 )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the first thing to do is: change that division for a multiplication. You can do that by changing the numerator by the denominator of the right side of the equation. That is: (3y+12)/(8y^3 ) X (16y^3 )/ (9y+36) Now you have to multiply numerators and denominators each other. (3y+12)(16y^3 )/(8y^3 )(9y+36)

ok

2/3

need the steps.

If you can see, there are common factors both in the numerator and denominator. So the expression becomes.... 3(y+4)(16y^3 ) / 9 (8y^3 )(y+4) (y+4) in the numerator and denominator simplify 3(16y^3 ) / 9 (8y^3 ) You can also simplify 3 in the numerator with 9 in the denominator (16y^3 ) / 3 (8y^3 ) Then you can finally simplify 16 in the numerator and 8 in the denominator (2y^3 ) / 3 (y^3 ) Division y^3/y^3 is equal to 1, so Everything has been simplified to 2/3
