Question

6. a^2b^6 2
____________ * __________ =
4 a^2b^3

Answer 1

$$\frac{a^2b^6}{4}*\frac{2}{a^2b^3}$$

Answer 2

Sir Question is unclear .

Answer 3

yes that is that is it

Answer 4

The rule for simplifying fractions:
If b,c and d are real numbers with b=/=0 and d=/=0, then
$$\frac{bc}{bd}=\frac{c}{d}$$This rule allows you to
divide the numerator and denominator of a fraction
by the same nonzero number.

Answer 5

so do i divide the top and bottom

Answer 6

Sort of... first divide the numerator and the denominator by 2

Answer 7

when you're multiplying fractions, you times straight across
(numerator x numerator) / denominator x denominator
from there you get a single fraction
once you have that fraction, you can cancel factors

Answer 8

(a^2 x b^6 x 2) / (4 x a^2 x b^3)

Answer 9

ok I have that

Answer 10

2/4 can be reduced to 1/2
a^2 / a^2 can be cancelled to 1/1, which is just 1

Answer 11

and b^6 / b^3 can be reduced
as 1/b^3 is the same as writing b^-3

Answer 12

so b^6 x b^-3
= b^(6-3)
=b^3
following ok so far?

Answer 13

yes i am following

Answer 14

cools, so with those cancelled, what are you left with?

Answer 15

b^3

Answer 16

yeah, but remember the 2/4 reduced to 1/2...
so you'll be left with b^3 / 2

Answer 17

thank you so much

Answer 18

all good man, best of luck
