Questions: Match each of the following expressions to an equivalent expression shown in the bins below.
Consider each of the expressions to be as you would type them into a typical calculator. For example, if you type x(y / z) into your calculator, this would be equivalent to x times y/z.
Transcript text: Match each of the following expressions to an equivalent expression shown in the bins below.
Consider each of the expressions to be as you would type them into a typical calculator. For example, if you type $x(y / z)$ into your calculator, this would be equivalent to $x \times \frac{y}{z}$.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the given expressions
We are given two expressions to match with their equivalent forms:
\( \frac{x}{yz} \)
\( \frac{x}{y} / z \)
Step 2: Simplify the first expression
The first expression is \( \frac{x}{yz} \). This can be interpreted as:
\[ \frac{x}{yz} = x \times \frac{1}{yz} \]
Step 3: Simplify the second expression
The second expression is \( \frac{x}{y} / z \). This can be interpreted as:
\[ \frac{x}{y} / z = \left( \frac{x}{y} \right) \times \frac{1}{z} = \frac{x}{y} \times \frac{1}{z} = \frac{x}{yz} \]
Final Answer
Both expressions \( \frac{x}{yz} \) and \( \frac{x}{y} / z \) are equivalent to:
\[ \boxed{\frac{x}{yz}} \]
