Answer:
2a²
Step-by-step explanation:
Pair 'like' terms with 'like' terms, ie numbers go with numbers, and 'a's go with 'a's.
Lets deal with the top of the fraction first:
4ax3a³
Rearrange it so you have numbers beside numbers and 'a's beside 'a's:
(4x3)x(axa³)
12x(a⁴) (because nᵃxnᵇ=nᵃ⁺ᵇ)
12a⁴
Now, instead of (4ax3a³)/6a², we have 12a⁴/6a²
First divide the numbers: 12/6 =2
Now divide the 'a' parts: a⁴/a²=a² (because nᵃ/nᵇ=nᵃ⁻ᵇ)
Now we have 2a²
