Question

what is the simplified form of 15x^8/24y^5 divided by 4x^4/8y^2

Answer 1

15x^8/24y^5 divided by 4x^4/8y^2
= (15x^8/24y^5 )(8y^2 /4x^4)

consider x first
x^8 /x^4
=x x x x x x x x / x x x x
=x x x x
=x^(8-4)
=x^4

similarly,
for y
y^2 / y^5
=1/y^3

for number
=15/24 8/4
=5/4

so
ans
=(5/4)(x^4)(1/y^3)
=5x^4 / 4y^3
