Question

Bring the fraction: b/7a^2c to a denominator of 35a^3c^3

Answer 1

5abc^2/35a^3c^3

Explanation:

To bring the fraction: b/7a^2c to a denominator of 35a^3c^3, find the dividend when the 35a^3c^3 is divided by 7a^2c

=35a^3c^3/ 7a^2c

Recall that

a^x/a^y = a^x-y

Hence

35a^3c^3/ 7a^2c = 5a^3-2c^3-1

= 5ac^2

Now multiply the numerator and denominator by the result

b/7a^2c = (b * 5ac^2)/(7a^2c * 5ac^2)

Recall that

a^x * a^y = a^x+y

Hence

b/7a^2c = (b * 5ac^2)/(7a^2c * 5ac^2) = 5abc^2/35a^3c^3
