Thread: Basic division simplification

I have been given a logarithmic equation to simplify. I have simplified it down a couple of stages and am left with the below equation:

(3a)/((a^2)/(25))

Is it possible to remove the 'a' from the equation, or at least one of them, perhaps the lower one? I have tried quite a few ways, but have not been successful.

Thanks for any help.

Btw: There isn't any equation ...

Thank you very much, I appreciate your help.

I perhaps should bow my head in shame; I do need to spend much more time on the very basics!

Thank you. And, of course, the same to you.
