Question

What is the simplified form of 1 over x squared all over 3 over x-cubed ?

A x over 3
B 1 over 3x
C 3x
D 3 over x

Answer 1

x over 3

Explanation:

Let's start by illustrating the problem statement:

`((1)/(x^(2) ) )/((3)/(x^(3) ) )`

Since there's a fraction in the bottom part, we can reverse it and multiply it with the fraction on top... like this.. then we make the product of the fractions and do some simplification...

`((1)/(x^(2) ) )/((3)/(x^(3) ) ) = (1)/(x^(2) ) * (x^(3) )/(3) = (x^(3))/(3x^(2) ) = (x)/(3)`

The result is them x over 3.
