Understand the problem

Solve the following problem:

12m3n:36n5m=? \frac{12m}{3n}:\frac{36n}{5m}=\text{?}

2

Step-by-step solution

Let's flip the second fraction to get a multiplication exercise:

12m3n×5m36n= \frac{12m}{3n}\times\frac{5m}{36n}=

We'll combine the fractions into one exercise:

12m×5m3n×36n= \frac{12m\times5m}{3n\times36n}=

Let's factor 36 into a smaller multiplication exercise:

12m×5m3n×12×3n= \frac{12m\times5m}{3n\times12\times3n}=

We'll reduce the 12 in both the numerator and denominator of the fraction:

m×5m3n×3n=5m29n2 \frac{m\times5m}{3n\times3n}=\frac{5m^2}{9n^2}

Final Answer

5m29n2 \frac{5m^2}{9n^2}
