Question

Simplify 24x5y2z10 / 16x3y z5 Show your work.

Answer 1

Answer:

3/2 x^2 y z^5

Step-by-step explanation:

24x^5y^2z^10 / 16x^3y z^5

split into pieces

24/16  * x^5/x^3  y^2/y  z^10/z^5

when dividing exponents with the same bases, we subtract the exponents

3/2  x^(5-3)  y^(2-1)  z^(10-5)

3/2 x^2 y^1 z^5
