Simplify. The quotient 3 over 5 times a times the quotient 1 over a squared

Question

A. 3 over 5 times a squared, where a does not equal 0
B. 3 over 5 times a squared
C. 3 over 5 times a cubed, where a does not equal 0
D. 4 over 5 times a squared, where a does not equal 0

Answer 1

The simplification is:

3/5 * a * 1/a^2

= (3/5) * (1/a) * a/a^2

= 3/5 * 1/a

= 3/5a

Therefore, the answer is A: 3 over 5 times a squared, where a does not equal 0.
