You can put this solution on YOUR website!
3x over 2y * y^2 over 6 = ?
---------------------------------
(3x/2y)* (y^2/6)
--------
Cancel any factors that are common to a numerator and a denominator,
such as y, and 3, to get:
=(x/2)* (y/2)
Now multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators to get:
=(xy)/4
---------
