Question

what is the simplified form of 1/10xy * 5x^2/7y ?

Answer 1

do the multiplication 1st then simplify

\[\frac{1}{10xy} \times \frac{5x^2}{7y} = \frac{5x^2}{70xy^2}\]

now eliminate common factors

\[\frac{5}{70} = \frac{1}{14} \]

and

\[\frac{x^2}{x} = \frac{x}{1}\]

so the simplification is

\[\frac{x}{14y^2}\]

thanksss!!!
