simplify x^5/2 * x^4/3 / x -1/6, what is the final exponent.
---------------
The exponent of x is 5%2F2+%2B+4%2F3+%2B+1%2F6
= x^4
Not sure what is meant by "final"

The exponents add.
x%5E%285%2F2%29%2Ax%5E%284%2F3%29%2Ax%5E%28-1%2F6%29=x%5E%285%2F2%2B4%2F3-1%2F6%29
5%2F2%2B4%2F3-1%2F6=15%2F6%2B8%2F6-1%2F6=22%2F6=11%2F3
