~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

 =  =  = .


1.  First I wrote the expression  in the numerator with common denominator:   = .


2.  Second, I did the same for the expression in the denominator:   = .

3.  Then I have   =  : . 

    This quotient is the same as the product   *    ( the rule of dividing ratios ).

    So, the quotient is  .


4.  As a last step, I cancel the common factor 2 in the numerator and the denominator in this ratio.


5.  Then I got this:  .
