Answer:

[tex]-\dfrac{1}{2ac}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

[tex]\dfrac{-32abc}{64a^2bc^2}[/tex]

Reduce this fraction.

Work with numbers and different letters separately:

1. Numbers:

[tex]\dfrac{-32}{64}=-\dfrac{32}{32\cdot 2}=-\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

2. Letter a:

[tex]\dfrac{a}{a^2}=\dfrac{a}{a\cdot a}=\dfrac{1}{a}[/tex]

3. Letter b:

[tex]\dfrac{b}b}=1[/tex]

4. Letter c:

[tex]\dfrac{c}{c^2}=\dfrac{c}{c\cdot c}=\dfrac{1}{c}[/tex]

Hence,

[tex]\dfrac{-32abc}{64a^2bc^2}=-\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot \dfrac{1}{a}\cdot \dfrac{1}{c}=-\dfrac{1}{2ac}[/tex]

Answer:

-1/(2ac)

Step-by-step explanation:

-32/64=-1/2

the b's cancel each other out,

leaving you with ac on the denominator.
