Question 202214: Simplify the following fractions by putting them in lowest terms or by performing the indicated operations.
17a^2b^3/15b^3c^2*18b^4c^3/8a^2bc^2

[(17a^2b^3)/(15b^3c^2)] * [ (18b^4c^3) / (8a^2bc^2)]
.
to resolve, look at numbers only, then a's only, then b's only, and finally c's only.
.
remember common bases multiply by adding exponents, divide by subtracting.
.
numbers, (17*18) / (15*8) = (17*6)/(5*8) = 2.55
.
a"s,,,,2-2=0,,,or a^0=1
.
b"s,,,,3+4-3-1,,or b^3
.
c's,,,,,3-2-2,,,or c^(-1) = 1/c
.
combining,,,,2.55 b^3 /c
