Are you being asked to simplify:\[\frac{12p^9}{12p^8}\]

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

look at the common terms and cancel them.

Answer 5

Ok, then just divided 12 by 12 to get 1...then p^9 by p^8 to get just p.

Answer 6

okey but the answers are either 220 4 79833600 or 19958400

Answer 7

You didn't post the full question then...we have no value for p so it could be anything.

Answer 9

If that's all there is then no one can help you solve an unsolvable question...there's not enough information provided.
