simplify. 15/10x

geerky42 (geerky42):

\(\dfrac{15}{10x}\) or \(\dfrac{15}{10}x\)? Either way, just note that 15 and 10 are divisible by 3.

geerky42 (geerky42):

15 and 10 are divisible by 5**

it is |dw:1415571150643:dw|

Ok, since both 15 and 10 are divisible by 5, you can factor 5 out then have them cancelled. \[\dfrac{15}{10x}\to\dfrac{5\cdot3}{5\cdot2\cdot x}\to\dfrac{\cancel5\cdot3}{\cancel5\cdot2\cdot x}\to\boxed{\dfrac{3}{2x}}\]Does that make sense/
