Question

what is the simplified form of ((x)/(y^2))/((x^2)/(y^5))? Can anyone solve this problem?

Answer 1

multiply by the reciprocal i.e. write
\[\frac{x}{y^2}\times \frac{y^5}{x^2}\] then cancel

Answer 2

okay could you please draw it so i could see it please

Answer 4

@satellite73

Answer 5

what is \(\frac{x}{x^2}\) ?

Answer 6

1/2

Answer 7

i mean (1)/(x) @satellite73

Answer 8

@ghazi mathlegend said you could probably solve this

Answer 9

yes it is \(\frac{1}{x}\)

Answer 10

how about \(\frac{y^5}{y^2}\) ?

Answer 11

What is this about?

Answer 12

because
\[\frac{xy^5}{x^2y^2}=\frac{x}{x^2}\times \frac{y^5}{y^2}\]\]

Answer 13

in other words, you get \(\frac{1}{x}\times y^3=\frac{y^3}{x}\)

Answer 14

ohh that makes sense lol thankyou.
