you will have an equation that looks like: (3y-12)/(2y+4)/(6y-24)/(4y+8)

when you rearrange it you get: (3y-12)/(2y+4) x (4y+8)/(6y-24)

Cross multiply 3y-12 with 6y-24. the 3y-12 will cancel out on both ends and the 6y-24 will be left with 2.

Same process for 4y+8 and 2y+4 to get the 2y+4 to cancel out and leave you with 2.

Since the equation 3y-12 was reduced to 1 and 2y+4 was reduced to 1 you get 1/1=1

Same with the next equation: 2/2=1

Solution = 1.

[(3y-12) / (2y+4)] / [(6y-24) / (4y+8)]

= [(3y-12) / (2y+4)] x [ (4y+8) / (6y-24)]
replace the division sign by multiplication and inverse the fraction in denominator

= [3(y-4)/2(y+2)] x [4(y+2) / 6(y-4)]

=(3/2) x (4/6)

= (3/2) x (2/3)

= 1

If what you mean is (3y-12/2y+4)/(6y-24/4y+8), then just multiply the fraction on top by the reciprocal of the other.

in order to divide fractions, multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction

in this case:

(3y-12)/(2y+4) x (4y+8)/(6y-24)
...you do the rest

3y-12 / 2y +4 /6y-24 /4y+8 =
.
(3y-12 /2y+4) x(4y+8 /6y-24)=
.
(3y-12)/(2y+4) x2(2y+4)/2(3y-12)=
.
1/1 x1/1 =1

= 3.(y - 4).4.(y + 2) / (2(y + 4).6.(y - 4))
= (y + 2) / (y + 4)
