Question

How do you simplify `(3m^-3r^4p^2)/(12t^4)`?

Answer 1

`(r^4p^2)/(4m^3t^4)`

Explanation:

Since we don't have any like variables on the top and bottom, we can't do anything with them. The only thing we can do is simplify `3/12`, which is `1/4`. Thus, we have

`(m^-3r^4p^2)/(4t^4)`

We can even make the negative exponent positive by bringing it to the denominator. We now have

`(r^4p^2)/(4m^3t^4)`

Hope this helps!
