Simplify (3x ⁄ 2y)(x ⁄ 3y)

  • A.x ⁄ 2y
  • B.(3x²) ⁄ (2y²)
  • C.x² ⁄ (6y²)
  • D.x² ⁄ (2y²)

Answer: D

Multiply numerators and denominators separately, then cancel.

\[ \frac{3x}{2y} \cdot \frac{x}{3y} = \frac{3x^{2}}{6y^{2}} = \frac{x^{2}}{2y^{2}} \]

The 3 in the numerator cancels one factor of the 6 - leaving it in gives \( \tfrac{x^{2}}{6y^{2}} \).
