Question

(x^2/y^6) divided by (x^7/y^3)

Answer 1

\[\frac{ x ^{2} }{ y ^{6} }\div \frac{ x ^{7}}{ y ^{3} }\]

Answer 3

common denominator right?

Answer 4

that is addition or subtraction for division you flip the second fraction and multipy

Answer 5

Oh okayy

Answer 6

so if you flip the 2nd fraction it looks like this right
\[\frac{ x ^{2}}{ y ^{6} }\times \frac{ y ^{3} }{ x ^{7} }\]
now can anything cancel out

Answer 7

\[(x^{2}/y ^{6})/(x ^{7}/y ^{3})=(x ^{2}/y ^{6})*(y ^{3}/x ^{7}) = 1/(x ^{5})(y ^{2})\]
