Answer

a. $\frac{16y}{3x^2}$ b. $\frac{-2a^2}{9b}$

Work Step by Step

a. $\frac{16y}{3}\times\frac{1}{x^2}$ $=\frac{16y\times1}{3\times x^2}$ $=\frac{16y}{3x^2}$ b. $\frac{-5a^3}{3b^3}\times\frac{2b^2}{15a}$ $=\frac{-5a^3\times 2b^2}{3b^3\times 15a}$ $=\frac{-10a^3b^2}{45ab^3}$ $=\frac{-2a^2}{9b}$
