Question

Please someone simplify this and please show the workout

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) 3pq / 4r² × 2rs / 6q²......first start by expanding the expression

It will be ;

3 × p × q / 4 × r × r X 2 × r × s / 6 × q × q

so now ,cancel out like terms. The q on top can cancel out with the q down same thing happens to r

so you'll get something like ;

3 × q / 4 × r X 2 × s / 6 × q ......so now divide , like 3 into 6 and 2 into 4 ,then you'll get something like;

qs / 4q

that's the answer

(b)15 ab² / 8 c²d ÷ 3ab / 4cd.......start by changing the sign from ÷ to × and then 3ab and 4cd will switch places

15ab² / 8c² d × 4cd / 3ab.....expand the expression

15 ×a×b×b / 8×c×c×d X 4×c×d / 3×a×b

then cancel like terms and you'll get;

15b / 8c X 4/3.....then divide 3 into 15 and 4 into 8

5b / 2c

hope this helps
