3x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{\frac {a}{b}}{\frac {c}{d}} = \frac{a \times d}{b \times c}\]

1/x^3 * x^2/3 = 1/3x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok but wouldnt the one just go away?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like u would know its there regardless

OpenStudy (anonymous):

False. Only if the one is on the bottom will it go away.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Aka (3x)/1 = 3x, but 1/(3x) = 1/(3x) and that's all it can be.
