Question

Divide:
$24x^2{y}^3$ by $3xy$

• A. $x{y}^2$
• B. $x{y}^3$
• C. $8x{y}^2$
• D. $8x{y}^3$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$8x{y}^2$

Divide: $24x^2{y}^3$ by $3xy$

$=\frac{24x^2{y}^3}{3xy}=\frac{2\times 2\times 2\times 3\times x\times x\times y\times y\times y}{3\times x\times y}$

$=2\times 2\times 2\times x\times y\times y$

$=8x{y}^2$
