Question

Divide assume that no denominator equal zero. b^4/ 2a^2 divided by b^3/ a

Answer 1

Explanation:

Essentially, what you have is a fraction divided by a fraction. The rule there is to bring up the bottom fraction and then flip it to multiply. That would look like this:

`(b^4)/(2a^2)`×
`(a)/(b^3)`

Now you can do some canceling out of like terms. There is a b^3 in the denominator and a b^4 in the numerator. You can take 3 b's out of 4, so the b^3 cancels completely out with the b^4, leaving only one b behind. The a in the numerator cancels with one of the a's in the a^2, leaving one behind. So the answer to this is:

`(b)/(2a)`
