Question

How do you simplify `((4a^3b)/(a^2b^3))*((3b^2)/(2a^2b^4))`?

Answer 1

`6/(ab^4)`

Exponents with the same base would add on multiplication = `12/2` `(a^3 b^3)/(a^4 b^7)`

= `6/(ab^4)` [exponents in the numerator being lesser than those in the denominator, on division these would subtract from the greater exponents. This would result in the simplification being with positive exponents.]
