{x^3}/{2y^3}cdot{2y^2}/{x}

by multiplying the numerators together and the numerators together,

={x^3cdot2y^2}/{2y^3 cdot x}={2x^3y^2}/{2xy^3}

by dividing the numerator and the denominator by 2,

={x^3y^2}/{xy^3}

by dividing the numerator and the denominator by x,

={x^2y^2}/{y^3}

by dividing the numerator and the denominator by y^2,

={x^2}/{y}
