| ① | Multiply $30$ by $ \dfrac{x^3}{15} $ to get $ \dfrac{ 30x^3 }{ 15 } $. Step 1: Write $ 30 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{1} $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} 30 \cdot \frac{x^3}{15} & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{30}{\color{red}{1}} \cdot \frac{x^3}{15} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 30 \cdot x^3 }{ 1 \cdot 15 } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 30x^3 }{ 15 } \end{aligned} $$ |
