I've got a little stuck here in my understanding. I think its a procedural problem that I just have not quite got to grips with at the moment. Your guidance would be greatly appreciated.
I want to simplify this expression.
[MATH]\frac{1}{3}{r}\times{3s}[/MATH]
I have no idea how to correctly word this or lay it out correctly mathematically, so if I present this wrong, please show me the correct method.
[MATH]\frac{1}{3}{r}\times{3s}[/MATH] Multiply across by 3rs
[MATH]\frac{1}{3}{r}\times{9}{s}=\frac{9}{3}{rs}[/MATH]
[MATH]\frac{9}{3}={3}rs\div{3}={1}rs[/MATH]
