Answer 1

Option A) 3a2b

Explanation:

Answer 2

Explanation:

The question will look like (3b)/(a^-2)

To simplify, note the (a^-2). It is a negative, so flip the placement of the monomial. Note that the term is located in the decimal, so when it is flipped, it goes to the numerator (vice versa if it is opposite)

(3b)/(a^-2) = (3b)(a²)

3a²b, or (A) is your answer choice
