A. 3x/y
B. 6x/y
C. 6y/x
D. 12x/y
E. 12y/x

Please explain.

Answer 1

$\bf A) \\\\\\ \cfrac{3\left( \frac{2y}{a} \right)}{y}\implies \cfrac{\frac{6y}{a}}{y}\implies \cfrac{6y}{a}\cdot \cfrac{1}{y}\implies \cfrac{6}{a}\quad \otimes \\\\\\ B) \\\\\\ \cfrac{6\left( \frac{2y}{a} \right)}{y}\implies\cfrac{\frac{12y}{a}}{y}\implies \cfrac{12y}{a}\cdot \cfrac{1}{y}\implies \cfrac{12}{a}\quad \otimes \\\\\\ C) \\\\\\ \cfrac{6y}{\left( \frac{2y}{a} \right)}\implies \cfrac{6y}{1}\cdot \cfrac{a}{2y}\implies 3a\quad \otimes$

$\bf D) \\\\\\ \cfrac{12\left( \frac{2y}{a} \right)}{y}\implies \cfrac{\frac{24y}{a}}{y}\implies \cfrac{24y}{a}\cdot \cfrac{1}{y}\implies \cfrac{24}{a}\quad \otimes \\\\\\ E) \\\\\\ \cfrac{12y}{\left( \frac{2y}{a} \right)}\implies \cfrac{12y}{1}\cdot \cfrac{a}{2y}\implies 6a\quad \checkmark$
