Urgent! Please help me simplify 2/x^2/10/x^5.Thanks, I'm a bit rusty on my math.

Question

abb0t · Answer

Just to clarify, is it: 
$\large \sf \color{red}{\frac{2}{x^2}÷ \frac{10}{x^5}}$, yes?

anonymous · Answer

@abb0t yes, except it's written like this-|dw:1407990792080:dw|

abb0t · Answer

That's the same thing, just written differently. But, all you have to do is flip the donimiator and multiply, so instead, you have: $\sf \large \frac{2}{x^2} \times \color{green}{\frac{x^5}{10}}$

@abb0t that's what I did earlier when I tried to solve this, but now would it be cross multiplication like 2*10 and x^2* x^5, or 2*x^5 and x^2*10 ?

abb0t · Answer

Yes. So do that.

abb0t · Answer

$\sf \large \frac{2x^5}{10x^2}$ and reduce.
