SOLUTION: a 1/3 x a 1/2 = a 1/3 + 1/2 = a 5/6
My question is how did they arrive to the answer "a 5/6"? read this in self study algebra and do not understand it.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! a^(1/3) x a^(1/2) = a^(1/3 + 1/2) = a^(5/6)
----
The 1/3 and the 1/2 are exponents of "a".
----
Since the bases is the same for both factors
you should add the exponents (1/2)+(1/3)
which gives you (3*1+2*1)/(2*3) = 5/6
