① | Step 1: Write $ 6 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{1} $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} 6 \cdot \frac{x}{144} & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{6}{\color{red}{1}} \cdot \frac{x}{144} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 6 \cdot x }{ 1 \cdot 144 } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 6x }{ 144 } \end{aligned} $$ |
