@satellite73 PLEASE HELP ME

anonymous · Answer

ask your math teacher (gently) what he or she means by "simplify" because there is no such mathematical operation
you can write using a single exponent
or you can compute the number

anonymous · Answer

im doing exponents and stuff so i guess she means to subtract the exponents? what do you think? im doing the stuff like 9^3 * 9^4 which is 9^7

This problem consists of having exponents. So to do this you have to apply the exponential way to figure out the original fraction and then find the simplified fraction. 

So the problem says to find out of $$3^{3}/4^{3}$$

To do this problem, the first step is to multiply 3 within three consecutive times (3x3x3), which equals to 27. And the next exponential number will have to be computed by multiplying 4 three times (4x4x4=64). So the new fraction is 27/64. 

Since there isn't any GCF (greatest common factor), except for 1, the fraction will still remain to be 27/64.
