Convert the mixed number 2 1/4 into an improper fraction: 9/4.
Then multiply this 9/4 by 3: 27/4, or 6 3/4.
Answer: Depends on the function but to figure this out you look for the growth factor in the equation is greater than 1
4*d^(-3)*d^18 = 4*d^(18-3) = 4*d^(15). The trick here is to combine the exponents.
Another way to write this problem would be:
4*d^18
---------- . Here d^18 divided by d^3 results in d^15, so again the final
d^3 answer is 4*d^15.
