Full solution

Q. Divide. Simplify your answer. \newline12n14m÷4m2n\frac{12n}{14m} \div 4m^2n
  1. Rewrite as multiplication: Rewrite the division as a multiplication by taking the reciprocal of the divisor. So, (12n/14m)÷(4m2n)(12n/14m) \div (4m^2n) becomes (12n/14m)×(1/(4m2n))(12n/14m) \times (1/(4m^2n)).
  2. Multiply numerators and denominators: Multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators. So, (12n14m)×(14m2n)=12n×114m×4m2n(\frac{12n}{14m}) \times (\frac{1}{4m^2n}) = \frac{12n \times 1}{14m \times 4m^2n}.
  3. Simplify by canceling factors: Simplify the expression by multiplying the denominators and canceling out common factors. The numerator is 12n12n and the denominator is 56m3n56m^3n. We can cancel out the common factor of nn from the numerator and denominator, and also divide both the numerator and the denominator by 44, which is a common factor.
  4. Final simplified expression: After simplification, the expression becomes (1256)×(1m3)=(314)×(1m3)=314m3(\frac{12}{56}) \times (\frac{1}{m^3}) = (\frac{3}{14}) \times (\frac{1}{m^3}) = \frac{3}{14m^3}.
