How do you simplify the expression \(\frac{8m}{12mn}\)?
Answer (2)
According to BODMAS and the way you have presented your expression:
8 m/12 m*n
=8*(m/12) m n
=(8m²n)/12
=2/3m²n
To simplify 12 mn 8 m , divide the coefficients 8 and 12 by their greatest common divisor (4), which gives 3 2 . Then, cancel one m from the numerator with one in the denominator to get 3 n 2 . The final simplified expression is 3 n 2 .
