Full solution

Q. Divide. Simplify your answer. \newline2j12j2÷8j\frac{2j}{12j^2} \div 8j
  1. Rewrite as multiplication: Rewrite the division as a multiplication by taking the reciprocal of the second fraction. So, (2j12j2)÷8j=(2j12j2)×(18j)(\frac{2j}{12j^2}) \div 8j = (\frac{2j}{12j^2}) \times (\frac{1}{8j}).
  2. Simplify by multiplying: Simplify the expression by multiplying the numerators and the denominators. So, (2j12j2)×(18j)=(2j×112j2×8j)(\frac{2j}{12j^2}) \times (\frac{1}{8j}) = (\frac{2j \times 1}{12j^2 \times 8j}).
  3. Perform multiplication: Perform the multiplication in the numerator and the denominator. So, (2j×1)/(12j2×8j)=2j/(96j3)(2j \times 1) / (12j^2 \times 8j) = 2j / (96j^3).
  4. Simplify the fraction: Simplify the fraction by canceling out common factors. The jj in the numerator and one jj in the denominator cancel out, and 296\frac{2}{96} can be reduced to 148\frac{1}{48}. So, 2j96j3=148j2\frac{2j}{96j^3} = \frac{1}{48j^2}.
  5. Check for further simplification: Check for any further simplification. Since there are no common factors left and the variables are simplified, the expression is in its simplest form.
