You have written ...

(5k)/(6)* (3)/(2)k^(3)=(5)/(4)k^(4)

Perhaps you intend ...

(5k)/(6)* (3)/(2k^(3))=(5)/(4k^(2)) = 1.25k^(-2)

Answer:


\Rightarrow (5)/(4k^2)

Explanation:

Given:
(5k)/(6)* (3)/(2k^3)

We are given rational expression and to simplify it.

First we factor
k^3\rightarrow k\cdot k\cdot k


\Rightarrow (5k)/(6)* (3)/(2k\cdot k\cdot k)

cancel the like terms from numerator and denominator


\Rightarrow (5)/(2)* (1)/(2k\cdot k)


\Rightarrow (5)/(4k^2)

Hence, The product of
(5k)/(6)* (3)/(2k^3) is
\Rightarrow (5)/(4k^2)
