| ① | Multiply $ \dfrac{3}{10} $ by $ s^2 $ to get $ \dfrac{ 3s^2 }{ 10 } $. Step 1: Write $ s^2 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{3}{10} \cdot s^2 & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{3}{10} \cdot \frac{s^2}{\color{red}{1}} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 3 \cdot s^2 }{ 10 \cdot 1 } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 3s^2 }{ 10 } \end{aligned} $$ |
| ② | Subtract $ \dfrac{3s^2}{10} $ from $ 10s $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ -3s^2+100s } }{ 10 }$. Step 1: Write $ 10s $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To subtract raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
| ③ | Subtract $3$ from $ \dfrac{-3s^2+100s}{10} $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ -3s^2+100s-30 } }{ 10 }$. Step 1: Write $ 3 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To subtract raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
