four y cubed over eight z to the fifth power

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

You just want to know how to write it out?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no how do I solve

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Alright, you have \[\frac{4y^3}{8z^5}\] you could separate this as so: \(\large \frac{4}{8} \cdot \frac{y^3}{z^5}\) Now what is 4/8 simplify to?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes its in brackets

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Good :) Because y and z are two different variables, they will not simplify any further, so you'll get : \(\large \frac{1\cdot y^3}{2z^5} =\frac{y^3}{2z^5}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok ... the problem is in parenthesis and the 5th power

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Hm?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

extra pellet right?!

OpenStudy (anonymous):
