How do u simplify the variable expression?
15g/50g^3
HELP PLEASE

 


Hi Nicole,

I'll show you how to simplify this expression by doing a similar problem,

 18 h2/3h4 

The first thing to notice here is that the numerator and denominator are both divisible by 3 so the expression can be simplified to

 6 h2/h4 

Now if you think of h2 as h x h and h4 as h x h x h x h then you can also see that the numerator and denominator are both divisible by h x h. Thus the expression further simplifies to

6/h x h  = 6/h2

Now try your problem,
Penny
