Question 77979: ok i have all the multiplying,and dividing fractions that look like this
(24r^s^) x (21s)
______ ___ = ????
(3s) ---- (r)
And i cant find any sites that will help me with them. also i have dividing a polynomia by a monomial, Whats a monomial?, and solving fractional equations that have to have answers like x=24 or u=3. i am completely stumped and in danger of failing the eight grade. plz help me i really want to go to high school. thank you for you time and plz try your best to help me
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If you have something like this:
 note: I cannot see any exponents over r and s, so I'll assume they are both 2
When you divide 2 like bases with exponents, you subtract the exponents (ie  )
 Divide the common bases (24/3=8) and subtract the exponents
When you multiply common bases, you add the exponents (ie  )
Now divide
 So this is the simplified answer
Whenever you say  you are dividing a polynomial (poly-many nomial-name) over a monomial (mono-one, nomial-name). In a sense these are monomials:
x,5x,2xy,10,etc
Basically any terms that are alone are monomials(they have 1 term); where multiple terms that are added or subtracted are polynomials (they have many terms):
polynomials -  ,  ,etc
I'm not sure what you mean by this "and solving fractional equations that have to have answers like x=24 or u=3"
