| ① | Multiply $4$ by $ \dfrac{x^3}{28} $ to get $ \dfrac{ 4x^3 }{ 28 } $. Step 1: Write $ 4 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{1} $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} 4 \cdot \frac{x^3}{28} & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{4}{\color{red}{1}} \cdot \frac{x^3}{28} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 4 \cdot x^3 }{ 1 \cdot 28 } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 4x^3 }{ 28 } \end{aligned} $$ |
| ② | Multiply $ \dfrac{4x^3}{28} $ by $ x^4 $ to get $ \dfrac{ 4x^7 }{ 28 } $. Step 1: Write $ x^4 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators.
