| ① | Multiply $16$ by $ \dfrac{x^2}{24} $ to get $ \dfrac{ 16x^2 }{ 24 } $. Step 1: Write $ 16 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{1} $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} 16 \cdot \frac{x^2}{24} & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{16}{\color{red}{1}} \cdot \frac{x^2}{24} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 16 \cdot x^2 }{ 1 \cdot 24 } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 16x^2 }{ 24 } \end{aligned} $$ |
| ② | Multiply $ \dfrac{16x^2}{24} $ by $ x^7 $ to get $ \dfrac{ 16x^9 }{ 24 } $. Step 1: Write $ x^7 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{16x^2}{24} \cdot x^7 & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{16x^2}{24} \cdot \frac{x^7}{\color{red}{1}} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 16x^2 \cdot x^7 }{ 24 \cdot 1 } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 16x^9 }{ 24 } \end{aligned} $$ |
