3z7x:3n4m=?
To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:
- Step 1: Write the division problem in terms of multiplication by using the reciprocal.
- Step 2: Multiply the given fractions.
- Step 3: Simplify the resulting expression.
Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: The problem 3z7x:3n4m can be rewritten as 3z7x×4m3n by taking the reciprocal of 3n4m.
Step 2: Multiply the numerators and the denominators:
3z×4m7x×3n=12zm21xn.
Step 3: Simplify the fraction by identifying any common factors:
The greatest common divisor of 21 and 12 is 3, so we can divide both by 3:
12zm21xn=4zm7xn.
The fraction simplifies further by expressing as a mixed number, if needed, to match the format of the answer choices.
The result is 47zmxn, which can be expressed as the mixed number 143zmxn.
Therefore, the solution to the problem is 143zmxn.
143zmxn
