what is 6ab divided by 3a?

6ab / 3a


this can also be written as:


6×a×b / 3×a


'a' cancels out and we are left with,


6×b / 3


since 3×2=6 , we can write the numerator as:


3×2×b / 3


'3' cancels out and we are left with,


2×b / 1


if anything is divided by 1, it becomes the answer, so:


2×b

= 2b

2b.

(6ab)/(3a)
= [3a(2b)]/(3a)
= 2b

3x2xaxb / 3 x a=2b

you divide the numbers by each other, and all variables by each other. so 6ab/3a gives you 2b since the a's will cancel out. Answer=2b

Well, 6ab = (2b)*(3a)

So 6a/3a = (2b)*(3a)/(3a).

Cancel the (3a). The answer is 2b.
