The given expression is
(3)/(5a) (1)/(a^(2)y)

The question is asking us to simplify the given expression.

The numerators are 3 and 1 and the denominators are 5a and
a^(2)

The numerator is multiplied to numerator and denominator to denominator

Multiplying we have:


(3)/(5a) .(1)/(a^(2)) =(3)/(5 .a.a^(2)) =(3)/(5a^(3))
