| ① | Multiply $-96w^4z^4$ by $ \dfrac{z^2}{18w^4z^2} $ to get $ \dfrac{ -96w^4z^6 }{ 18w^4z^2 } $. Step 1: Write $ -96w^4z^4 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{1} $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} -96w^4z^4 \cdot \frac{z^2}{18w^4z^2} & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{-96w^4z^4}{\color{red}{1}} \cdot \frac{z^2}{18w^4z^2} = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ \left( -96w^4z^4 \right) \cdot z^2 }{ 1 \cdot 18w^4z^2 } \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ -96w^4z^6 }{ 18w^4z^2 } \end{aligned} $$ |
