Simplify the complex fraction: r/s^2/r^2/s

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well we can look at this as the product of two fractions if we invert the second fraction. We have r/s^2 * s/r^2. So our final answer is: r*s/r^2*s^2 This works for any complex fraction. Hope this helps. If it does, please choose good answer. http://www.tutorsean.net for free math videos.

(r/ss)/(rr/s) (r/ss)(s/rr) rs/rrss

Correct answer was 1/rs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is correct. If you cancel out the terms, then you will get 1/rs. r*s/r^2*s^2 is 1/rs as you could rewrite this as: r/r^2*s^2 * s/r^2s^2. I assumed that you knew about cancellation. Sorry for that.
