Simplify Expression E266D7
1. The problem is to simplify the expression $$10x \div \frac{x^2}{y}$$.
2. Recall that dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. So,
$$10x \div \frac{x^2}{y} = 10x \times \frac{y}{x^2}$$.
3. Multiply the numerators and denominators:
$$= \frac{10x \times y}{x^2} = \frac{10xy}{x^2}$$.
4. Simplify the fraction by canceling common factors. Since $x^2 = x \times x$, one $x$ cancels with the numerator:
$$= \frac{10y}{x}$$.
5. The simplified expression is $$\frac{10y}{x}$$.
6. Comparing with the options given, this matches Option 2.
Therefore, the correct simplified form is Option 2: $$\frac{10y}{x}$$.
