| ① | Multiply $2$ by $ \dfrac{x}{50} $ to get $ \dfrac{ 2x }{ 50 } $. Step 1: Write $ 2 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{1} $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} 2 \cdot \frac{x}{50} & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{2}{\color{red}{1}} \cdot \frac{x}{50} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 2 \cdot x }{ 1 \cdot 50 } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 2x }{ 50 } \end{aligned} $$ |
| ② | Multiply $ \dfrac{2x}{50} $ by $ \dfrac{x}{60} $ to get $ \dfrac{ 2x^2 }{ 3000 } $. Step 1: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 2: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{2x}{50} \cdot \frac{x}{60} \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{ 2x \cdot x }{ 50 \cdot 60 } \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 2x^2 }{ 3000 } \end{aligned} $$ |
