You can put this solution on YOUR website!
invert and multiply second set of terms
.
{(ab+b^2) / 4ab^5} * { (6a^2b^4)/(a+b) }
.
factor
.
{b(a+b) / 4ab^5} * { 6a^2b^4 / (a+b) }
.
simplify by canceling and combining like terms
.
(3/2) a
.
check by letting, a=1,b=2 (arbitrary),,,both original and answer = 1.5,,ok
