Question 224001: _8uz_ 5u__
3u . 6z Of course these are supposed to be fractions and the 'dot' is supposed to be in the middle of the equation. Can someone please help me with this one. The "dot" means to multiple correct? Or is that wrong too?

8uz_ 5u__
3u . 6z
Perhaps you mean:
%288uz%29%2F%283u%29 * %285u%29%2F%286z%29
You can cancel u
%288z%29%2F%283%29 * %285u%29%2F%286z%29
You can cancel z across the multiply sign, then just multiply, reduce fraction
%288%29%2F%283%29 * %285u%29%2F%286%29 = %2840u%29%2F18 = %2820u%29%2F9
