| ① | Multiply $ \dfrac{25}{2} $ by $ m^3 $ to get $ \dfrac{ 25m^3 }{ 2 } $. Step 1: Write $ m^3 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{25}{2} \cdot m^3 & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{25}{2} \cdot \frac{m^3}{\color{red}{1}} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 25 \cdot m^3 }{ 2 \cdot 1 } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 25m^3 }{ 2 } \end{aligned} $$ |
| ② | Add $m^2-10m$ and $ \dfrac{25m^3}{2} $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ 25m^3+2m^2-20m } }{ 2 }$. Step 1: Write $ m^2-10m $ 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 | Subtract $15m^2$ from $ \dfrac{25m^3+2m^2-20m}{2} $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ 25m^3-28m^2-20m } }{ 2 }$. Step 1: Write $ 15m^2 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To subtract raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
| ④ | Add $ \dfrac{25m^3-28m^2-20m}{2} $ and $ 25m $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ 25m^3-28m^2+30m } }{ 2 }$. Step 1: Write $ 25m $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To add raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
