① | Step 1: Write $ 10 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{1} $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} 10 \cdot \frac{f^3}{-4f^8} & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{10}{\color{red}{1}} \cdot \frac{f^3}{-4f^8} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 10 \cdot f^3 }{ 1 \cdot \left( -4f^8 \right) } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 10f^3 }{ -4f^8 } \end{aligned} $$ |
