Question

How do you multiply `(4x)/3*(8x)/2` and state the excluded values?

Answer 1

`(4x)/3xx(8x)/2=(16x^2)/3`

Explanation:

Such fractions may be mulitplied directly, `"numerator"xx"numerator"` and `"denominator"xx"deominator"`. And we can divide thru by common factors.

So `(4x)/3xx(8x)/2=(4x xx8x)/(3xx2)=(cancel2xx2x xx8x)/(3xxcancel2)=(16x^2)/3`
