<PRE><B>Question 700899</B>
&lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Tahoma&quot;&gt;I believe this means:&lt;br&gt;

{{{(25*p^10)/(15*p^3)}}}&lt;br&gt;

If so, then it is fairly straightforward:&lt;br&gt;

{{{(25*p^10)/(15*p^3)}}} given&lt;br&gt;

{{{(5*p^10)/(3*p^3)}}} simplify the constants in the fraction&lt;br&gt;

{{{(5*p^7)/3}}} simplify the variable using properties of exponents&lt;br&gt;

When dividing like terms with exponents, we subtract the indices from each other, in this case {{{10-3=7}}}&lt;br&gt;

Then we put that new index value in the numerator because {{{10&gt;3}}}&lt;br&gt;

{{{(5*p^7)/3}}} is the simplest form&lt;br&gt;

I hope this helps!  Keep practicing!  :)&lt;br&gt;
