Question

Simplify completely

Answer 1

...

Answer 2

\[\frac{ 18st^2 }{ 52s^3t }\times \frac{ 16s^3 }{ 9s^2t }\]

Answer 3

I suggest "separating" your terms to see what "cancellation" is possible.

Answer 4

8st/3st=8/3

Answer 5

would it be. 9st^2/26s^2t?

Answer 6

18*s*t*t*16*s*s
----------------
52*s*s*t*9*s*s*t

Then cancel terms and simplify as we did in the last problem.

Answer 7

The short way to the answer is not always going to help you on the exam. It is best to be able to rearrange terms to see things more clearly.

When in doubt, WRITE IT OUT.

Answer 8

8/3 or 8st/3st is the answer

Answer 9

basicly u just cross simplify

Answer 10

You do not want to cross simplify when an EQUAL sign is not present. Not good.

Answer 11

For ratios, it is OK.

Answer 12

Answer 19

Lets start here. Remember: If something appears on the top AND bottom, you can "cancel" it.

Answer 20

Oop. I forgot to cancel one more T. Take care of it for me.

Answer 21

so its 18 x 16 / 52s9?

Answer 22

Yes!

But we can "reduce" it even further. Right?
