Question

what is the simplified form of (12y^4/8x^3) times (6x^8/20 y^6)

Answer 1

\[\huge \frac {12y^{2}}{8x^{3}}*\frac{6x^{8}}{y^{6}}\]
????

Answer 2

12y to the 4th power

Answer 3

and 20 y to the 6th

Answer 4

\[\huge \frac{12y^{4}}{8x^{3}}*\frac {6x^8}{20y^{6}}\]
\[\huge \frac{3y^{4}}{4x^{3}}*\frac {3x^8}{5y^{6}}\]
Now cancel the powers.

Answer 5

\[\huge \frac{3}{4}*\frac {3x^5}{5y^{2}}\]
\[\huge \frac {9x^5}{20y^{2}}\]
