How do you solve (2h-3k)square / (10h-15k/6hk) ?

Comments

  • (2h-3k)square / (10h-15k/6hk)

    = (2h-3k) * (2h-3k) / [(10h-15k) / 6hk]

    You will need to use the rules of multiplying fractions. Switch the divide sign to multiply, and then

    invert the denominator of the larger ratio:

    (10h-15k)/6hk => you would invert this to become: (6hk) / (10h-15k)

    Now rewrite your original expression:

    [ (2h-3k) * (2h-3k)] * [ 6hk /(10h-15k) ]

    Now factor out 5 from the last term:

    [ (2h-3k) * (2h-3k)] * [ 6hk / 5(2h-3k) ]

    Now multiply your fractions:

    (2h-3k) * (2h-3k) * 6hk ]

    -------------------------------

    5(2h-3k)

    You can now cancel the (2h-3k) from both top and bottom of the fraction, and finish up your work

  • (2h-3k)^2 / (10h-15k/6hk) =

    (2h-3k)^2 / 5(2h-3k/6hk) =

    (2h-3k)^2 (6hk) / 5(2h-3k) =

    (2h-3k) (6hk) / 5
