Find the right quotient. 36m 5 n 5 ÷ (12m 3)

polet [3.4K]

ANSWER

The right quotient is

$3 {m}^{2} {n}^{5}$

EXPLANATION

The given expression is :

$\frac{36 {m}^{5} {n}^{5} }{12 {m}^{3} }$

$\frac{36 {m}^{5} {n}^{5} }{12 {m}^{3} } = \frac{36}{12} \times \frac{ {m}^{5} }{ {m}^{3}} \times {n}^{5}$

$\frac{36 {m}^{5} {n}^{5} }{12 {m}^{3} } = 3\times \frac{ {m}^{5} }{ {m}^{3}} \times {n}^{5}$

Recall that,

$\frac{ {a}^{m} }{ {a}^{n} } = {a}^{m - n}$
We apply this property to obtain;

$\frac{36 {m}^{5} {n}^{5} }{12 {m}^{3} } = 3 \times {m}^{5 - 3} \times {n}^{5}$

$\frac{36 {m}^{5} {n}^{5} }{12 {m}^{3} } = 3 {m}^{2} {n}^{5}$
