solve 9x square/8y square divided by 3x/16y to the 9th power.
The answer is 6x to the 4th y to the 7th. I got 6xy to the seventh.
-----------------
[9x^2/8y^2] / [3x/16y^9]
Invert the denominator and change to multiplication:
= [9x^2/8y^2] * [16y^9/3x]
Cancel factors that are common to a numerator and a denominator
such as x, y^2, 8 3
= [3x/1] * [2y^7/1]
Simplify:
= 6xy^7
