Hello!

The answer is: Multiply the numerators, multiply the denominators, and then simplify.

Why?

Let's discard each given option in order to find the correct one.

First option,

Find a common denominator for the two fractions:

Incorrect, there Mrs. Cho does not need to find a common denominator since it's a fraction multiplication. We find common denominators when we are doing additions or subtractions of fractions.

Second Option,

Divide the numerator and denominator of the first fraction by x2 and y:

Incorrect, Mrs. Cho does not need to divide the numerator and denominator of the first fraction by x2 and y, doing that would not help at all, it's a useless step.

Third Option,

Multiply the numerators, multiply the denominators, and then simplify:

Correct, Mrs. Cho should multiply and then, simplify the result:

$\frac{y-2x^{2}}{x^{2}y}*\frac{1}{y-2x^{2}}=\frac{1}{x^{2}y }$

As we can see,the fraction is simplified because the first fraction numerator and the second fraction denominator are equal.

Fourth Option,

Multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:

Incorrect, Mrs. Cho does not need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction since it's not a fraction division.

Have a nice day!

Not so sure about this one sorry.

Answer from: Quest

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

0.2 0.8

288.75 x

231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal $3

* = $3465 (answer)

1 1 gal

hope this you
