Q. Divide. Write your answer in simplest form. \newlinem410m36m2÷75\frac{m - 4}{10m^3 - 6m^2} \div \frac{7}{5}
  1. Rewrite Division as Multiplication: Rewrite the division as multiplication by the reciprocal of the second fraction.\newline(m4)/(10m36m2)÷75(m - 4)/(10m^3 - 6m^2) \div \frac{7}{5} can be rewritten as (m4)/(10m36m2)×57(m - 4)/(10m^3 - 6m^2) \times \frac{5}{7}.
  2. Factor Out GCF: Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from the denominator of the first fraction. \newline10m36m210m^3 - 6m^2 can be factored by taking out 2m22m^2, which gives us 2m2(5m3)2m^2(5m - 3).\newlineSo, the factored form of the first fraction is (m4)/(2m2(5m3))(m - 4)/(2m^2(5m - 3)).
  3. Multiply Numerators and Denominators: Multiply the numerators and the denominators of the two fractions. (m4)/(2m2(5m3))×5/7(m - 4)/(2m^2(5m - 3)) \times 5/7 results in ((m4)×5)/(2m2(5m3)×7)((m - 4) \times 5) / (2m^2(5m - 3) \times 7).
  4. Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression by performing the multiplication. ((m4)×5)/(2m2(5m3)×7)((m - 4) \times 5) / (2m^2(5m - 3) \times 7) simplifies to (5m20)/(14m2(5m3))(5m - 20) / (14m^2(5m - 3)).
  5. Check for Common Factors: Check if there are any common factors that can be canceled out from the numerator and the denominator.\newlineThere are no common factors between (5m20)(5m - 20) and (14m2(5m3))(14m^2(5m - 3)), so the expression is already in its simplest form.
