Full solution

Q. Multiply. Simplify your answer.\newline4z210z2×8z2\frac{4z^2}{10z^2} \times 8z^2
  1. Identify Terms: Identify the terms to be multiplied and rewrite the multiplication expression.\newlineWe have the fraction 4z210z2\frac{4z^2}{10z^2} and we want to multiply it by 8z28z^2. The multiplication expression is (4z210z2)×8z2\left(\frac{4z^2}{10z^2}\right) \times 8z^2.
  2. Simplify Fraction: Simplify the fraction before multiplying.\newlineThe z2z^2 terms in the numerator and denominator of the fraction 4z210z2\frac{4z^2}{10z^2} cancel each other out because they are the same, leaving us with 410\frac{4}{10}. This simplification is valid because z2z2=1\frac{z^2}{z^2} = 1, provided that zz is not equal to zero.
  3. Further Simplify: Further simplify the fraction 410\frac{4}{10}. The fraction 410\frac{4}{10} can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 22. This gives us 25\frac{2}{5}.
  4. Multiply Fraction: Multiply the simplified fraction by 8z28z^2. Now we multiply the simplified fraction 25\frac{2}{5} by 8z28z^2. This gives us (25)8z2(\frac{2}{5}) * 8z^2.
  5. Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication.\newlineMultiplying 25\frac{2}{5} by 8z28z^2, we get 2×8z2/52 \times 8z^2 / 5, which simplifies to 16z25\frac{16z^2}{5}.
  6. Write Final Answer: Write the final answer in simplest form.\newlineThe final simplified result of the multiplication is 16z25\frac{16z^2}{5}, which is already in its simplest form.
