Reduce fraction: a^3+a^2b/5a times 25/3b+3a

Margaret [11]

ANSWER

$\frac{5a}{3}$

EXPLANATION

The given fractions are:

$\frac{{a}^{3} + {a}^{2} b}{5a} \times \frac{25}{3b + 3a}$

We factor to obtain:

$\frac{{a}^{2}(a + b)}{5a} \times \frac{25}{3(a + b)}$

We cancel the common factors to get:

$\frac{{a}(1)}{1} \times \frac{5}{3(1)}$

We multiply the numerators and also multiply the denominators to get:

$\frac{5a}{3}$

Therefore the two fractions simplifies to $\frac{5a}{3}$

Classify each event as simple or compound

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

1. Compound

2. Simple

3. Simple

4. Compound

Step-by-step explanation:

The way I differentiated these was based on the quantitivity of each scenario. I related it to compound and simple sentences. For example, when one act was committed, it was clearly singular & simple. But if there was two actions consecutively, I'd consider that compound.
