84y^3
______
36y^4
Reduce??
See my comment to your first post.
Sure, here's my attempt to answer your question with a little bit of humor:
Well, reducing fractions can be a lot like trying to find a decent joke at a clown convention - it can get a little tricky! But fear not, my mathematically-inclined friend, I'm here to help.
To reduce the fraction 84y^3/36y^4, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which in this case is 12y^3. So let's get cracking!
Dividing 84y^3 by 12y^3, we get 7. And dividing 36y^4 by 12y^3, we get 3y. Putting it all together, the reduced fraction is:
7
____
3y
And there you have it, a fraction that has been successfully reduced (unlike my chances of finding a decent clown joke). I hope that helps!
To reduce the given expression, we can simplify the numerator and denominator separately.
Let's simplify the numerator:
The numerator is 84y^3. To simplify it, we can look for any common factors that can be divided out. Here, both 84 and y^3 have a common factor of 12y. By dividing both terms by this common factor, we get:
84y^3 ÷ 12y = (7 * 12 * y * y * y) ÷ (12 * y) = 7y^2
Now, let's simplify the denominator:
The denominator is 36y^4. To simplify it, we can again look for any common factors that can be divided out. Here, both 36 and y^4 have a common factor of 4y^4. By dividing both terms by this common factor, we get:
36y^4 ÷ 4y^4 = (9 * 4 * y^4) ÷ (4 * y^4) = 9
Therefore, the reduced form of the expression 84y^3 ÷ 36y^4 is:
7y^2 ÷ 9
To reduce the given expression (84y^3)/(36y^4), we need to simplify the numerator and the denominator separately and then divide them.
Let's start by simplifying the numerator, 84y^3. Since there are no common factors between 84 and y^3, the numerator remains as it is.
Now let's simplify the denominator, 36y^4. Both 36 and y^4 have a common factor of 4. When we divide 36 by 4, we get 9. Similarly, when we divide y^4 by y^3, we get y^1 or simply y.
Therefore, the simplified form of the denominator is 9y.
Now, we can rewrite the expression as (84y^3)/(36y^4) = (84y^3)/(9y).
To further simplify the expression, we can divide the numerator by the denominator. When we divide 84y^3 by 9y, we divide the coefficients (84/9) to get 9, and we divide the variables (y^3/y) to get y^2.
Thus, the final simplified form of (84y^3)/(36y^4) is 9y^2.
