Can you just check my answer please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ b ^{3}c ^{2} }{ b ^{3} c}\] so if I have this fraction, would it equal \[bc^{1}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the b^3 cancel each other out, so b does not exist in the answer On the other hand, there is a c^1 The answer should be c Does that make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

close but not quite, the b is wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohh okay so it'd just be c?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep, correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because the b's cancel/simplify out.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks! :D

OpenStudy (uh60blackhawk):

but if you divide c^2 with c won't it stay c^2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@KirbyLegs can you give @JayDS a medal please? so you both get one :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol, u didn't have to say that, as long as u got help u needed but thanks.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@UH60blackhawk if u divide c^2 with c, it will just be c because one c will remain on the numerator(the top), essentially it will become c/1 which e write as just c.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which we*

OpenStudy (uh60blackhawk):

oh ok

Y'all are smart ^_^
