Question

Simplify the following: 25a^3 b^2 / 45a^2 b^4. I got 0.5ab^2, just checking!

Answer 1

I see how you got a^3/a^2 = a

but b^2/b^4 is NOT b^2

Answer 2

Check it once more..

Answer 3

also

25/45 does NOT equal 0.5, it's more like 0.5555556, but I guess you could round a bit

Answer 4

I would stick to fractions

25/45 = 5/9

Answer 5

\[\frac{x^a}{x^b} = x^{a-b}\]

Answer 6

5a/9b^2
