Hi, there--

\n" ); document.write( " $\"%283%2F4%29%5E2+%2A%28+-2%2F3%29%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%289%2F16%29+%2A%28+4%2F9%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%289%2A4%29%2F%2816%2A9%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "We can just multiply everything here and then reduce. However, you can save yourself some work by noticing that a factor of 9 in the numerator and the denominator cancels out because 9/9=1. This gives us
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4%2F16\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "4/16 reduces to 1/4 since the numerator and denominator are both divisible by 4.
