| ① | Multiply $ \dfrac{25}{6} $ by $ b $ to get $ \dfrac{ 25b }{ 6 } $. Step 1: Write $ b $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{25}{6} \cdot b & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{25}{6} \cdot \frac{b}{\color{red}{1}} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 25 \cdot b }{ 6 \cdot 1 } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 25b }{ 6 } \end{aligned} $$ |
| ② | Add $36b^2+60b$ and $ \dfrac{25b}{6} $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ 216b^2+385b } }{ 6 }$. Step 1: Write $ 36b^2+60b $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To add raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
| ③ | Add $ \dfrac{216b^2+385b}{6} $ and $ 5 $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ 216b^2+385b+30 } }{ 6 }$. Step 1: Write $ 5 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To add raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
