Math Problem Statement
Simplify fully: (a^3 b^2) / (cd) × c / (ab^5)
Solution
To simplify the expression , we will first multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
We then simplify by canceling out common terms in the numerator and denominator:
- The in the numerator and the in the denominator cancel out.
- in the numerator and in the denominator leaves .
- in the numerator and in the denominator leaves , or .
Thus, the simplified expression is:
