Math Problem Statement

what is this equi

Solution

The given expression is:

(abc)a(bc)\left(\frac{\frac{a}{b}}{c}\right) \cdot \frac{a}{\left(\frac{b}{c}\right)}

Let's simplify this step by step.

  1. Simplify the first fraction:

    abc=abc\frac{\frac{a}{b}}{c} = \frac{a}{bc}

  2. Simplify the second fraction:

    a(bc)=ab/c=acb\frac{a}{\left(\frac{b}{c}\right)} = \frac{a}{b/c} = \frac{a \cdot c}{b}

  3. Multiply the simplified fractions:

    abcacb=aacbbc=a2cb2c\frac{a}{bc} \cdot \frac{ac}{b} = \frac{a \cdot a \cdot c}{b \cdot b \cdot c} = \frac{a^2c}{b^2c}

  4. Further simplification:

    a2cb2c=a2b2\frac{a^2c}{b^2c} = \frac{a^2}{b^2}

So, the simplified expression is:

a2b2\frac{a^2}{b^2}
