1963 TMTA High School Algebra I Contest Problem 12

Problem

Divide $bx^3$ by $\frac{x^2}{b}.$

$\text{(A)} \quad b^2x \quad \text{(B)} \quad bx^5 \quad \text{(C)} \quad \frac{x^5}{b^2} \quad \text{(D)} \quad \frac{b^2}{x} \quad \text{(E)} \quad x$

Solution

$\frac{bx^3}{\frac{x^2}{b}} = bx^3 \cdot \frac{b}{x^2} = \boxed{\text{(A)} \quad b^2x}$
