| ① | Multiply $12$ by $ \dfrac{n^2}{16} $ to get $ \dfrac{ 12n^2 }{ 16 } $. Step 1: Write $ 12 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{1} $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} 12 \cdot \frac{n^2}{16} & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{12}{\color{red}{1}} \cdot \frac{n^2}{16} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 12 \cdot n^2 }{ 1 \cdot 16 } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 12n^2 }{ 16 } \end{aligned} $$ |
| ② | Multiply $ \dfrac{12n^2}{16} $ by $ n $ to get $ \dfrac{ 12n^3 }{ 16 } $. Step 1: Write $ n $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{12n^2}{16} \cdot n & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{12n^2}{16} \cdot \frac{n}{\color{red}{1}} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 12n^2 \cdot n }{ 16 \cdot 1 } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 12n^3 }{ 16 } \end{aligned} $$ |
