Question

Simplify:
1.6 X 10^3
____________

4 X 10^-2

Answer 1

1600/0.04 = 40,000 = 40X10^3

Answer 2

It's all one equation, it's a fraction I just didn't know how to type it

Answer 3

it doesnt have any variables... you can simplify it down to a real number. 40,000

Answer 4

thank you I get it now!

Answer 5

also how do you solve:
-3(a^2b^-1)^3
{-------------}^-2
7(a^-5b^6)

The brackets should cover both equations.

Answer 6

note that when you take the exponent of an exponent you add ex: (2^2)^2 = 2^4 right off i see the a^2^3 up there which turns into a^5th and you have an a^-5 down in the numerator. start there, and see if that helps any

Answer 7

okay thank you so much!
