Question 667884: I try doing but I got stuck on the last part. How do you solve ((3x^2)(6x^-1)^2/(16y^3)(5y^-1)). I got 108x^0/80y^2 but you have to simplify it which is 27/20y^2 but I do not understand how they got the 27 from.

I try doing but I got stuck on the last part. How do you solve ((3x^2)(6x^-1)^2/(16y^3)(5y^-1)). I got 108x^0/80y^2 but you have to simplify it which is 27/20y^2 but I do not understand how they got the 27 from.

You're correct up to this point: 108x%5E0%2F80y%5E2

108x%5E0 = 108+%2A+x%5E0 = 108 * 1 ------ Anything to the "0" power = 1

We now have: 108%2F80y%5E2, which when simplified results in: highlight_green%2827%2F20y%5E2%29 --- Dividing numerator and denominator by GCF, 4
