Advanced Math practice question

For x ≠ 0 and y ≠ 0, which expression is equivalent to 6x²y³ / (2xy)?

  1. A. 3xy²Correct
  2. B. 3x²y²
  3. C. 4xy²
  4. D. 3xy³

Answer: A. 3xy²

Divide the coefficients, 6/2 = 3, and subtract exponents: x²/x = x and y³/y = y².

Why the other answers are wrong

B. 3x²y²
x² divided by x is x, not x².
C. 4xy²
6 divided by 2 is 3, not 4.
D. 3xy³
y³ divided by y is y², not y³.
