Solution

Let's go through each problem one by one and simplify the given expressions.


b. 30p10×5q620p3\frac{30p^{10} \times 5q^6}{20p^3}

  1. First, simplify the coefficients:
    30×520=15020=7.5\frac{30 \times 5}{20} = \frac{150}{20} = 7.5

  2. For the pp terms:
    p10p3=p103=p7\frac{p^{10}}{p^3} = p^{10-3} = p^7

  3. Combine everything:
    7.5p7q67.5 p^7 q^6


c. 10x2×6y35x×12y4\frac{10x^2 \times 6y^3}{5x \times 12y^4}

  1. Simplify the coefficients:
    10×65×12=6060=1\frac{10 \times 6}{5 \times 12} = \frac{60}{60} = 1

  2. Simplify the xx terms:
    x2x=x21=x\frac{x^2}{x} = x^{2-1} = x

  3. Simplify the yy terms:
    y3y4=y34=y1=1y\frac{y^3}{y^4} = y^{3-4} = y^{-1} = \frac{1}{y}

  4. Combine everything:
    xy\frac{x}{y}


d. v×7v2v \times \frac{7}{v^2}

  1. Simplify the vv terms:
    v×1v2=vv2=1vv \times \frac{1}{v^2} = \frac{v}{v^2} = \frac{1}{v}

  2. Combine everything:
    7v\frac{7}{v}


e. 14x4y37x5×21y2\frac{14x^4 y^3}{7x^5 \times 21y^2}

  1. Simplify the coefficients:
    147×21=14147=221\frac{14}{7 \times 21} = \frac{14}{147} = \frac{2}{21}

  2. Simplify the xx terms:
    x4x5=x45=x1=1x\frac{x^4}{x^5} = x^{4-5} = x^{-1} = \frac{1}{x}

  3. Simplify the yy terms:
    y3y2=y32=y\frac{y^3}{y^2} = y^{3-2} = y

  4. Combine everything:
    2y21x\frac{2y}{21x}


Final Answers:

  • b. 7.5p7q67.5 p^7 q^6
  • c. xy\frac{x}{y}
  • d. 7v\frac{7}{v}
  • e. 2y21x\frac{2y}{21x}
