6xy^-1
_________
2x^-2y^-1

Answer 1

\[\frac{6xy^{-1}}{2x^{-2}y^{-1}}\]?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

divide 6 by 2 to get 3

Answer 4

\[\frac{y^{-1}}{y^{-1}}=1\]

Answer 5

okay 3 goes on top right?

Answer 6

and finally
\[\frac{x}{x^{-2}}=x\times x^2=x^3\]\]

Answer 7

yes 3 goes on top

Answer 8

so your "final answer" is
\[3x^3\]
