Answer by rapaljer(4671) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Divide out the 3 and the b^3 by subtracting the exponents. Don't forget to leave a factor of 1 in the numerator!

I have additional explanation with examples solved in LIVING COLOR on my own website. Please go to "www2.seminolestate.edu/rrapalje". Look for the links on my Homepage "Basic, Intermediate, and College Algebra: One Step at a Time" and also "MATH IN LIVING COLOR", and look under "Basic Algebra" (Chapter 3) or "Intermediate Algebra"(Chapter 2).

I also have a video from my own teaching in class before I retired a few years ago in Intermediate Algebra. Parts of this video would also be helpful to students in lower levels of math. To see the video, look for "Rapalje Videos in Living Color", and see Intermediate Algebra for the topic of Fractions.

I think you will find the explanations, both written and video, much easier to understand than traditional textbooks. Best of all, it's all FREE--even the VIDEO!!
