Q. Which of the following is equivalent to (ca+6)÷(2c2a+6)?Choose 1 answer:(A) 2c(B) a+3a+6(C) 2(a+3)a+6(D) 1
Write Expression & Identify Operation: Write down the given expression and identify the operation involved.The given expression is a division of two fractions: (ca+6)/(2c2a+6).We need to divide the first fraction by the second fraction.
Apply Division Rule: Apply the rule for dividing fractions, which is to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.The reciprocal of (2c2a+6) is (2a+62c).So, the expression becomes: (ca+6)×(2a+62c).
Simplify by Multiplying: Simplify the expression by multiplying the numerators and denominators.Multiply (a+6) by (2c) and c by (2a+6).This gives us: c⋅(2a+6)(a+6)⋅(2c).
Cancel Common Factors: Cancel out the common factors in the numerator and the denominator.We can see that 2c is a common factor in both the numerator and the denominator.So, we can cancel out 2c from both to simplify the expression.This gives us: (a+6)/(2a+6).
Check Further Simplification: Check if the expression can be simplified further. The expression (a+6)/(2a+6) cannot be simplified further as there are no common factors left to cancel out.
