(8 m^2)/(5 n)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how did you get that
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Wolfram Mathmatica
OpenStudy (anonymous):
when you divide, multiply by the reciprocal just like with numbers.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
now cancel common factors

give me one second
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\frac{3m^4}{2m^2n}\times \frac{16m}{15m^3n^2}\] i made a typo this one is correct
OpenStudy (anonymous):
cancel what you can, leave the rest
OpenStudy (anonymous):
first answer is wrong by the way. if you want to use wolfram you have to be very careful about your input
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yea i was not sure about that

ok now i got \[48m^{5}/30m ^{4}n ^{3}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is that close
OpenStudy (anonymous):
now time to cancel
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\frac{m^5}{m^4}=m^{5-4}=m^1=m\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh wait, your denominator is wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):
should be
\[\frac{48m^5}{30m^5n^3}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
m squared times m cubed is m to the fifth
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so m's cancel out completely
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[8/5n ^{3}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is that correct?
