Question

Perform the indicated operation.

Answer 1

Answer: C

Explanation:

If you look at the equation, you can see that you can cancel out a 9z³ on both sides. 9z³ is what both fractions have in common. This leaves us with 1 on the numerator on the first fraction and 2 for the denominator on the second fraction.

`(1)/(16xy) *(4x)/(3)`

You can also cancel out 4x since both fractions have a 4x in common. This leaves the denominator of the first equation with 4y and the numerator of the second equation with 1.

`(1)/(4y) *(1)/(3)`

Now, we can multiply straight across.

`(1)/(12y)`
