which expression is equivalent to 18x^2y^5/(3xy)^2
A 3xy^3
B 3x^3y^3
C 2y^3
D 2xy
We can simplify 18x^2y^5/(3xy)^2 by first reducing the denominator (3xy)^2, which simplifies to 9x^2y^2. So, 18x^2y^5/(3xy)^2 becomes:
18x^2y^5/(9x^2y^2)
We can then simplify the expression further by canceling out the common factor of 9x^2:
2y^3
Therefore, the answer is C) 2y^3.
