#54r^4s^2#

Explanation:

Solution

#(6r^3s cdot 9r^2 s^8)/(rs^7)#

Multiply and add the indices of Like Bases..

#(6 xx 9 r^3 xx r^2 xx s^1 xx s^8)/(r xxs^7)#

#(54 xx r^(3 + 2) xx s^(1 +8))/(r xxs^7)#

#(54 xx r^5 xx s^9)/(r xxs^7)#

#54 xx r^5 xx s^9 div (r xxs^7)#

#54 xx r^(5 - 1) xx s^(9 - 7)#

#54 xx r^4 xx s^2#

#rArr# #54r^4s^2 -> Answer#
