Full solution

Q. Divide. Simplify your answer.\newline17d220cd÷19c2d\frac{17d^2}{20cd} \div 19c^2d
  1. Rewrite as multiplication: Rewrite the division as a multiplication by taking the reciprocal of the second fraction. So, (17d220cd)÷(19c2d)(\frac{17d^2}{20cd}) \div (19c^2d) becomes (17d220cd)×(119c2d)(\frac{17d^2}{20cd}) \times (\frac{1}{19c^2d}).
  2. Multiply numerators and denominators: Multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators. So, (17d220cd)×(119c2d)=17d2×120cd×19c2d(\frac{17d^2}{20cd}) \times (\frac{1}{19c^2d}) = \frac{17d^2 \times 1}{20cd \times 19c^2d}.
  3. Simplify by canceling factors: Simplify the expression by canceling out common factors. The dd in the numerator cancels with one dd in the denominator, and cc in the denominator cancels with one cc in the numerator. So, we get 17d20×19c2\frac{17d}{20 \times 19c^2}.
  4. Multiply constants in denominator: Multiply the constants in the denominator. So, 20×19=38020 \times 19 = 380. The expression now is (17d)/(380c2)(17d)/(380c^2).
  5. Write in simplest form: Write the answer in the simplest form. The fraction (17d)/(380c2)(17d)/(380c^2) is already in its simplest form since 1717 and 380380 have no common factors other than 11.
