Answer 1

you can 'cancel out' factors from top and bottom in the same way as oyu can with numerical problems

what is
\[\frac{ a ^{3} }{ a ^{3}}\]

what is
\[\frac{ b ^{2} }{ b }\]

what is
\[\frac{ c }{ c ^{5} }\]
(hint - that is the same as:
\[\frac{ c }{ c \times c \times c \times c \times c }\]
