| ① | Multiply $10$ by $ \dfrac{x^2}{25} $ to get $ \dfrac{ 10x^2 }{ 25 } $. Step 1: Write $ 10 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{1} $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} 10 \cdot \frac{x^2}{25} & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{10}{\color{red}{1}} \cdot \frac{x^2}{25} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 10 \cdot x^2 }{ 1 \cdot 25 } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 10x^2 }{ 25 } \end{aligned} $$ |
| ② | Multiply $ \dfrac{10x^2}{25} $ by $ x $ to get $ \dfrac{ 10x^3 }{ 25 } $. Step 1: Write $ x $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{10x^2}{25} \cdot x & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{10x^2}{25} \cdot \frac{x}{\color{red}{1}} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 10x^2 \cdot x }{ 25 \cdot 1 } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 10x^3 }{ 25 } \end{aligned} $$ |
