Question from shradheya, a student:

write all fall using variable ,number, and basic operation

1. divide the product of 'x' and '3y' by '2z'.

Hi,

Try this. Using the notation × for multiplication and the notation a/b for division I would respond to "divide the product of '12' and '9' by '18'" by

(12 X 9)/18

Using the same notation for the mathematical operations write a response to "divide the product of 'x' and '3y' by '2z'".
