Question

48x^5 y^3 z^7/-60x^3y^7 z can someone help me out with this problem

Answer 1

I understand it as:\[48x^5 y^3 z^7/-60x^3y^7 z\] Please tell me if i am wrong about the question
*sorry about the working out - want to get it right
Fractions (with like terms together)
48/-60
The x y and z in the numerator and denominator are similar so, with the exponents together as a fraction
5/3 for x
3/7 for y
7/1 for z

since we are dividing, we do the easiest first
48/-60 gives -4/5

with exponents, when you divide, you subtract the smallest from the largest, with result going in place of the larger value(this should be the easiest way of doing it)
5/3 gives 2
3/7 gives 4
7/1 gives 6

so the answer should be\[-4x^2 z^6/5x^3y^4\]***The negative sign can go before the 4 or the 5, but there is one
