Help me shadow

EndersWorld:

\[\frac{ 5a^5b^2c^2 }{ 15a^7b^4c}\]@Shadow

EndersWorld:

@shadow

EndersWorld:

How is 5/15 3?

Shadow:

\[\frac{ a^5 }{ a^7 } = \frac{ 1 }{ a^2 }\] \[\frac{ b^2 }{ b^4 } = \frac{ 1 }{ b^2 }\] \[\frac{ c^2 }{ c } = c\]

Shadow:

Lol, mind the typo of 5/15. Should be 15/5

EndersWorld:

But the 15 was on bottom?

Shadow:

\[\frac{ 5 }{ 15 } = \frac{ 1 }{ 3 }\]

Shadow:

So it would be \[\frac{ c }{ 3 a^2 b^2}\]

Shadow:

\[(\frac{ 5 }{ 15 })(\frac{ a^5 }{ a^7 })(\frac{ b^2 }{ b^4 })(\frac{ c^2 }{ c})\]

Shadow:

^That's more proper

EndersWorld:

I have to simplify XD

Shadow:

I know, was just rewriting the previous steps because of the typo xD
