Question
Multiply or divide as indicated. Simplify all answers.$$\frac{5 a^{2}}{7 b^{2}} \cdot \frac{b}{15 a}$$
Step 1
We have a factor of $5$ in both the numerator and the denominator, so we can cancel it out: $$ \frac{a^{2} \cdot b}{7 b^{2} \cdot 3 a} $$ We also have a factor of $a$ in both the numerator and the denominator, so we can cancel it out: $$ \frac{a \cdot b}{7 Show more…
