Question

h/[(x+h)/h]

Answer 1

\(\LARGE\color{blue}{ \frac{h}{\frac{x+h}{h}} }\) like this ?

Answer 2

\[h( \frac{ x+h }{ h })\]??

Answer 3

\[ {h} \div {\frac{x+h}{h}}\]

Answer 4

\(\LARGE\color{blue}{ \frac{h}{\frac{x+h}{h}}=h \div\frac{x+h}{h}=h \times\frac{h}{x+h} }\)

Answer 5

more help ?

Answer 6

@samjordon how do I solve this one?

Answer 7

I need the steps to simplify this

Answer 8

Well We know the process of dividing with fractions
We take the second term and flip it and then change the division sign to multiplication
\(h \div \frac{x+h}{h} \to h * \frac{h}{x+h} \)
Do you follow?

Answer 9

@samjordon yes...I got that far but how do I simplify it further?

Answer 10

\[\frac{h}{\frac{h+x}{h}}=\frac{h^2}{h+x} \]

Answer 11

ok well our next step would be to multiply
When multiplying fractions we multiply the denominators and the numerators separately.
\( {h} *\frac{h}{x+h}\large \to \frac{h*h}{x+h}=\frac{h^2}{x+h}\)
