Multiply. Simplify your answer. 20k^2/11j * 12k^2 ______

Write Problem: Write down the multiplication problem. We are given the expression 20k^2/11j multiplied by 12k^2. We need to multiply the numerators together and keep the denominator as is since there is no denominator in the second fraction.Multiply Numerators: Multiply the numerators. To multiply the numerators, we multiply 20k^2 by 12k^2. This gives us 20 * 12 * k^2 * k^2.Calculate Product: Calculate the product of the numerators. 20 * 12 equals 240, and k^2 * k^2 equals k^4 (since we add the exponents when multiplying like bases). So, the product of the numerators is 240k^4.Write Result: Write the result over the original denominator. Since the original denominator is 11j, we place the product of the numerators over this denominator. The expression becomes 240k^4/11j.Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression if possible. In this case, there are no common factors between the numerator and the denominator, so the expression is already in its simplest form.

\frac{20k^2}{11j} \times 12k^2

Write Problem: Write down the multiplication problem. $\newline$ We are given the expression $\frac{20k^2}{11j}$ multiplied by $12k^2$ . We need to multiply the numerators together and keep the denominator as is since there is no denominator in the second fraction.
Multiply Numerators: Multiply the numerators. $\newline$ To multiply the numerators, we multiply $20k^2$ by $12k^2$ . This gives us $20 \times 12 \times k^2 \times k^2$ .
Calculate Product: Calculate the product of the numerators. $20 \times 12$ equals $240$ , and $k^2 \times k^2$ equals $k^4$ (since we add the exponents when multiplying like bases). So, the product of the numerators is $240k^4$ .
Write Result: Write the result over the original denominator. $\newline$ Since the original denominator is $11j$ , we place the product of the numerators over this denominator. The expression becomes $\frac{240k^4}{11j}.$
Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression if possible. $\newline$ In this case, there are no common factors between the numerator and the denominator, so the expression is already in its simplest form.
