1. Problem Description

The problem is to simplify the expression 3r32r33r3\frac{3r^3}{2r^3 \cdot 3r^3}.

2. Solution Steps

First, we simplify the denominator by multiplying the terms.
2r33r3=(23)(r3r3)2r^3 \cdot 3r^3 = (2 \cdot 3) \cdot (r^3 \cdot r^3)
Using the rule aman=am+na^m \cdot a^n = a^{m+n}, we get
r3r3=r3+3=r6r^3 \cdot r^3 = r^{3+3} = r^6
So the denominator becomes 6r66r^6.
Thus, the expression becomes 3r36r6\frac{3r^3}{6r^6}.
Next, we simplify the fraction 36\frac{3}{6} to 12\frac{1}{2}.
Also, using the rule aman=amn\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}, we get
r3r6=r36=r3=1r3\frac{r^3}{r^6} = r^{3-6} = r^{-3} = \frac{1}{r^3}.
Therefore, we have
3r36r6=121r3=12r3\frac{3r^3}{6r^6} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{r^3} = \frac{1}{2r^3}.

3. Final Answer

The simplified expression is 12r3\frac{1}{2r^3}.
