Given. $\frac{8r^3}{6r}\div\frac{5r^2}{9r^3}$ Simplify each rational expression. $=\frac{4r^2}{3}\div\frac{5}{9r}$ Use the rule $\frac{a}{b}\div\frac{c}{d}=\frac{a}{b}\times\frac{d}{c}$. $=\frac{4r}{3}\times\frac{9r}{5}$ Cancel out the common factor 3. $=4r^2\times\frac{3r}{5}$ Multiply. $=\frac{12r^3}{5}$
