Answer 1

Answer: B. $11\times11^4$

Step-by-step explanation:

The laws of exponents say that $\frac{11^8}{11^3} = 11^{8-3}.$ In the end, the answer choice should result in $11^5$.

A is incorrect because $\frac{11^7}{11^7} = 11^{7-7}=11^0=1$, and $1\neq 11^5$.

B is correct because the laws of exponents say that $11\times11^4=11^{1+4}=11^5$. $11$ has an understood power of $1$.

C is incorrect because $\frac{11^0}{11^5} = 11^{0-5}=11^{-5}$, and $11^{-5}\neq 11^5$.

D is incorrect because any base raised to the 0th power will always be 1.
