Question

How do you simplify `(-9f^3g^5h^2)/(6fg^2h )`?

Answer 1

This expression can be simplified using properties of exponents. That is, if both the denominator and the numerator are one term, or if there is a common variable between both the numerator and denominator (e.g `(f^2(5h+4k))/(f(2k+5h))`, the shared variable on both sides of the division bar can be cancelled out.

In the example earlier, the `f^2` in the numerator will become `f` and the denominator's `f` will cancel out: `(f(5h+4k))/((2k+5h))`

In your specific equation, the final answer will be

`(-3f^2g^3h)/2`
