① | Step 1: Write $ 12 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{1} $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} 12 \cdot \frac{n^5}{36} & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{12}{\color{red}{1}} \cdot \frac{n^5}{36} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 12 \cdot n^5 }{ 1 \cdot 36 } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 12n^5 }{ 36 } \end{aligned} $$ |
② | Step 1: Write $ n $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators.
