how would I simplify 2/3a x 2/a^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Parth (parthkohli):

I think you should multiply both numerators and denominators hehe

Parth (parthkohli):

That's how fractions are multiplied!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would it be 4/3a^2

Parth (parthkohli):

3a^3 actually

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[where a \neq 0\]

Parth (parthkohli):

\(\Large \color{Black}{\Rightarrow 3a \times a^2 = 3 \times a \times a \times a = 3a^3 }\)

Parth (parthkohli):

Yes, exactly.

Parth (parthkohli):

@ajprincess What is 3 * a * a * a?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it think it will be a^3

Parth (parthkohli):

Yes, it will be 3a^3

Parth (parthkohli):

Why do we need LCM? This is multiplication, not addition or subtraction hehe

OpenStudy (ajprincess):

oops sorry for the confusion caused. Thought it as subtraction. Am soooo sorrry.

Parth (parthkohli):

No, no worries!

OpenStudy (ajprincess):
