Question

Express each product in the simplest form.

3wx / 6x times 3wx / 9w

a. wx / 6
b. wx / 3
c. 2 / 3 WX
d. wx

Help me please. :)

Answer 1

\[\frac{ 3wx }{ 6x } * \frac{ 3wx }{ 9w }\]You can cross cancel here. Do you know how?

Answer 2

\[ \frac{ 3wx }{ 6x }\times \frac{ 3wx }{ 9w }\]

simplest form for
3wx/6x would be w/2
x cancel out and 3 and 6 are divided by 3

for 3wx/9w
simplest form will be
x/3
w is cancelled out and 3 and 9 are divided by 3
so u are left with
\[\frac{ w }{ 2 }\times \frac{ x }{3 }\]
so it'll be

wx/6

Answer 3

Thank you both!

Answer 4

I will study your responses.

Answer 5

:)

Answer 6

If you want to do each fraction at a time, then cross cancel between the 3 and the 6 and the x's to get a result of \[\frac{ w }{ 2 }\]Then work with the next fraction to eliminate between the 3 and the 9, and the w's to get a result of\[\frac{ x }{ 3}\]

Answer 7

Now you have, simply,\[\frac{ w }{ 2 } * \frac{ x }{ 3 }= \frac{ wx }{ 6 }\]
