I'm having trouble with this problem. x/2/4/2x? (complex fraction.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is the problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is the question to simplify it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The key here is to eliminate 4/2x. Multiply the numerator and the denominator by 2x / 4. This eliminates 4 / 2x. Now you have \[2x^2 / 8\] 2 goes into 8, 4 times. The reduced fraction is \[x^2 / 4\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can I show you what I did and you can correct me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure.
