Question

reduce the ratio to lowest terms. a/b ^{2} x^2 to 1^2/b x

Answer 1

you can write the ratio
\[ \frac{a}{b^2}x^2 : \frac{a^2}{b} x \]
as
\[ \frac{ \frac{a}{b^2}x^2 }{ \frac{a^2}{b} x }\]
you can change this division to multiplying by the inverse of the bottom fraction. In other words, "flip" the bottom fraction, and multiply:
\[ \frac{a}{b^2}x^2 \cdot \frac{b}{a^2 x} \]
or
\[ \frac{abx^2}{a^2b^2x} \]
you can "cancel" like terms from the top and bottom
Can you finish ?
