<PRE><B>Question 933668</B>
What is the simplified form of 24 y to the fifth power over 15 x to the eighth power divided by 8 y squared over 4 x to the fourth power ?
 -------------------
[(24y^5)/(15x^8)] / [(8y^2)/(4x^4)]
------
= [(24y^5)/(15x^8)]*[(4x^4)/(8y^2)]
= [24y^5/8y^2] * [4x^4/15x^8]
= [3y^3] * (4/15x^4]
= y^3 *(4/5x^4)
= (4/5)(y^3/x^4)
==========================
