SOLUTION: 24x^4y^2/3x^8y^2

Question 145140: 24x^4y^2/3x^8y^2

Starting with:
24x^4y^2/3x^8y^2
Expanding the y's
24x^4yy/3x^8yy
Cancel out each y that is duplicated in the numerator and denominator.
Since there are two of each cancel them all out:
24x^4/3x^8
Looking at the x's -- there are 4 on the top and 8 on the bottom.
Therefore, you get rid of four x's on the top and bottom:
24/3x^4
Finally, divide 24 by 3 (to get 8):
8/x^4
