Math Problem Statement

Simplify (2a³/3y³)*(6y³/16x²)

Solution

To simplify the expression (2a33y3)×(6y316x2)\left(\frac{2a^3}{3y^3}\right) \times \left(\frac{6y^3}{16x^2}\right), follow these steps:

  1. Multiply the numerators: 2a3×6y3=12a3y32a^3 \times 6y^3 = 12a^3y^3

  2. Multiply the denominators: 3y3×16x2=48y3x23y^3 \times 16x^2 = 48y^3x^2

  3. Combine the fractions: 12a3y348y3x2\frac{12a^3y^3}{48y^3x^2}

  4. Simplify the fraction:

    • First, cancel out the y3y^3 from both the numerator and the denominator: 12a3y348y3x2=12a348x2\frac{12a^3\cancel{y^3}}{48\cancel{y^3}x^2} = \frac{12a^3}{48x^2}
    • Next, simplify the numerical coefficient 1248\frac{12}{48}: 1248=14\frac{12}{48} = \frac{1}{4}
    • Therefore, the simplified expression is: a34x2\frac{a^3}{4x^2}

So, the simplified expression is a34x2\boxed{\frac{a^3}{4x^2}}.
