Answer 1

The first step for solving this problem is to multiply the fractions by multiplying the numerators and denominators separately.

`(xXx)/(3X9)`
Remember that if a term doesn't have an exponent,, it is considered that the exponent is 1. This will change the expression to the following:

`( x^(1) X x^(1) )/(3X9)`
Now multiply the bottom numbers together.

`( x^(1) X x^(1) )/(27)`
Multiply the terms with the same base by adding their exponents together. This looks like the following:

`( x^(1+1) )/(27)`
Finally,, add the numbers together to find your final answer.

`( x^(2) )/(27)`
This means that the correct answer to your question is
`( x^(2) )/(27)`,, or option D.
