Question

What is the simplified form of a over 3 all over 6 over 3 a ?

Answer 1

@zepdrix help please..?

Answer 2

\[\Large\rm \frac{\left(\frac{a}{3}\right)}{\left(\frac{6}{3a}\right)}\]Did I interpret that correctly?
We need to simplify this?

Answer 3

Yes, that's right.

Answer 4

When we divide fractions, we can rewrite it as multiplication by flipping the bottom fraction.
Example:\[\Large\rm \frac{\left(\frac{e}{f}\right)}{\left(\frac{g}{h}\right)}\quad=\quad \frac{e}{f}\cdot \frac{h}{g}\]And then do normal fraction multiplication, top with top, bottom with bottom,\[\Large\rm \frac{e\cdot h}{f\cdot g}\]And simplify if possible.

Answer 5

\[a/3 \times 3a/6?\] That would equal 3a^2/18?

Answer 6

Mmm good!
Now it looks like the top and bottom are both divisible by 3.
Can we cancel out a 3 somehow?

Answer 7

Yea. a^2/6

Answer 8

Okay. Thanks for the help zepdrix!
