I can't understand the algebraic simplification below
I can't understand the last step of simplification in the following algebraic expression.
I am aware that
3
=
3
1
2
. Can't see how they get the
6
in the denominator, and how
3
gets to the numerator. Any help will be appreciated.
p.s. this is from a mathematics text book. last step of a derivative calculation.

How to simplify

My textbook says to do the following steps to simplify the
3

3
/

=
(
(

/

)
×
(

)

4
=
6
/
4
=

/
2.
However, if the fourth step is valid (1. please explain why and 2. I specifically mean where you "split" the square root into two parts), then why can't you simply do:
3
/
2
=
3
/
2
3
/
2
=
3
/
2
Why wouldn't that be valid?
My point is, are the two fractions equivalent?

Question on recurring decimal digits
In my discrete maths class, I have come across an interesting phenomenon for which I can't find an explanation!
If we divide
1
by
13
we obtain
0.07692307
…
If we divide
3
by
13
we obtain
0.23076923
…
If we divide
4
by
13
we obtain
0.30769230
…
As you can see, the digits are recurring in the same order but starting at a different point in the sequence.
Can someone explain this to me? What exactly is happening here?

simple multiplication question: multiplying radial fractions
I'm having a bit of brain block right now.
In order to multiply any fractions you simply reduce to lowest form, then multiply num., then denom. When I tried with fractions in radian form it didn't work out so well.
consider:
(
6
π
/
5
)
(
2
π
/
3
If I want to keep the
π
in the numerator I thought I should just multiply
6
and
2
to get
12
for
12
π
. But I don't think that's a mathematically sound method of multiplication. So I figured I should just multiply the entire numerator and then divide out
π
: so that's
(
6
π
)
(
2
π
)
=
118.4352528
then divide out
π
which gives me
37.69911184
which isn't right because it should be an integer.I know I'm missing something very fundamental here. Any help appreciated.

If you are dealing with fraction math problems, you are in the correct section as you will find both questions and answers with detailed explanations. Before you study fraction problems with answers, ensure that you explore the original instruction because fraction algebra equations must be understood from a logical point of view. It is what makes fraction problems and answers important as they tend to inspire learners for thinking. If you cannot find a solution for your question, explore more fraction math problems with answers and try to find the rationality of divisions first!
