Understand the problem

(12a+3b)/(ab)=? (12a+3b)/(a\cdot b)=\text{?}

2

Step-by-step solution

Let's first rewrite the exercise as a fraction:

12a+3ba×b= \frac{12a+3b}{a\times b}=

Since the numerator of the fraction contains an addition operation and the denominator of the fraction contains a multiplication operation, we'll break down the exercise into an addition of fractions:

12aa×b+3ba×b= \frac{12a}{a\times b}+\frac{3b}{a\times b}=

Finally, we can cancel out the a a s in the numerator and denominator of the first fraction and the b b s in the numerator and denominator of the second fraction, giving us:

12b+3a \frac{12}{b}+\frac{3}{a}

Final Answer

12b+3a \frac{12}{b}+\frac{3}{a}
