Full solution

Q. Divide. Simplify your answer.\newline13x216x2y2÷18xy\frac{13x^2}{16x^2y^2} \div 18xy
  1. Rewrite as multiplication: Rewrite the division as a multiplication by taking the reciprocal of the second fraction. So, (13x216x2y2)÷(18xy)(\frac{13x^2}{16x^2y^2}) \div (18xy) becomes (13x216x2y2)×(118xy)(\frac{13x^2}{16x^2y^2}) \times (\frac{1}{18xy}).
  2. Multiply numerators and denominators: Multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators. So, (13x216x2y2)×(118xy)=13x2×116x2y2×18xy(\frac{13x^2}{16x^2y^2}) \times (\frac{1}{18xy}) = \frac{13x^2 \times 1}{16x^2y^2 \times 18xy}.
  3. Simplify by canceling common factors: Simplify the expression by canceling out common factors. The x2x^2 term in the numerator cancels with one x2x^2 in the denominator, and the xx in the denominator cancels with one xx in the numerator. This leaves us with 13(16y2×18y)\frac{13}{(16y^2 \times 18y)}.
  4. Further simplify the denominator: Further simplify the denominator by multiplying the constants and the yy terms. So, 16y2×18y=288y316y^2 \times 18y = 288y^3.
  5. Write in simplest form: Write the answer in the simplest form. So, 1316y2×18y=13288y3\frac{13}{16y^2 \times 18y} = \frac{13}{288y^3}.
