Full solution

Q. Divide. Simplify your answer.\newline5m2n10n2÷10n\frac{5m^2n}{10n^2} \div 10n
  1. Rewrite as multiplication: Rewrite the division as a multiplication by taking the reciprocal of the second fraction. So, (5m2n/10n2)÷10n=(5m2n/10n2)×(1/10n)(5m^2n/10n^2) \div 10n = (5m^2n/10n^2) \times (1/10n).
  2. Combine numerators and denominators: Combine the numerators and denominators. So, (5m2n/10n2)×(1/10n)=(5m2n)/(10n2×10n)(5m^2n/10n^2) \times (1/10n) = (5m^2n)/(10n^2 \times 10n).
  3. Simplify the denominator: Simplify the denominator by multiplying the terms. So, 10n2×10n=100n310n^2 \times 10n = 100n^3.
  4. Place simplified denominator: Place the simplified denominator under the numerator. So, (5m2n)/(100n3)(5m^2n)/(100n^3).
  5. Reduce the fraction: Reduce the fraction by canceling out common factors. The number 55 goes into 100100 twenty times, and nn goes into n3n^3 n2n^2 times. So, (5m2n)/(100n3)=(m2)/(20n2)(5m^2n)/(100n^3) = (m^2)/(20n^2).
  6. Check for further simplification: Check if further simplification is possible. Since there are no common factors left in the numerator and denominator, the fraction is in its simplest form.
