A. [tex]\(\frac{16 f^3}{3}\)[/tex]

B. [tex]\(\frac{f}{3}\)[/tex]

C. [tex]\(\frac{3}{16 f^3}\)[/tex]

D. [tex]\(\frac{3}{f}\)[/tex]



Answer :

Let's start by carefully analyzing and simplifying the given expression step by step:

Given expression:
[tex]$\frac{4 f^2}{3} \div \frac{1}{4 f}$[/tex]

To simplify this, we can use the property of division of fractions which states:
[tex]$\frac{a}{b} \div \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{d}{c}$[/tex]

So, we should rewrite the division as a multiplication by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
[tex]$\frac{4 f^2}{3} \div \frac{1}{4 f} = \frac{4 f^2}{3} \times \frac{4 f}{1}$[/tex]

Now, we multiply the numerators and the denominators:
[tex]$\frac{4 f^2 \times 4 f}{3 \times 1} = \frac{4 \times 4 \times f^2 \times f}{3} = \frac{16 f^3}{3}$[/tex]

Thus, we have the simplified expression:
[tex]$\frac{16 f^3}{3}$[/tex]

Among the given options, the equivalent expression is:
[tex]$\frac{16 f^3}{3}$[/tex]

Therefore, the correct answer is:
[tex]$\frac{16 f^3}{3}$[/tex]
