Well, the way I would do this is count the course and write that first, than put the 2 colins and than the carton of milk ratio. I hope this helped!
Step-by-step explanation:
![\sqrt[8]{ {x}^{2} {y}^{6} } \\ \\ = ( {x}^{2} {y}^{6} )^{ \frac{1}{8} } \\ \\ = {x}^{2 \times \frac{1}{8}} {y}^{6\times \frac{1}{8}} \\ \\ = x^{\frac{1}{4}} {y}^{3\times \frac{1}{4}} \\ \\ = x^{\frac{1}{4}} {y}^{\frac{3}{4}} \\ \\ = \sqrt[4]{x {y}^{3} } \\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%5B8%5D%7B%20%7Bx%7D%5E%7B2%7D%20%20%7By%7D%5E%7B6%7D%20%7D%20%20%5C%5C%20%20%5C%5C%20%20%3D%20%28%20%7Bx%7D%5E%7B2%7D%20%7By%7D%5E%7B6%7D%20%20%29%5E%7B%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B8%7D%20%7D%20%20%5C%5C%20%20%5C%5C%20%20%3D%20%20%7Bx%7D%5E%7B2%20%5Ctimes%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B8%7D%7D%20%7By%7D%5E%7B6%5Ctimes%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B8%7D%7D%20%20%5C%5C%20%20%5C%5C%20%20%3D%20x%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%7D%20%7By%7D%5E%7B3%5Ctimes%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%7D%20%20%5C%5C%20%20%5C%5C%20%20%20%3D%20x%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%7D%20%7By%7D%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B4%7D%7D%20%20%5C%5C%20%20%5C%5C%20%20%20%3D%20%20%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7Bx%20%7By%7D%5E%7B3%7D%20%7D%20%20%5C%5C%20)
You can find the degree classification by what is the greatest power shown in the polynomial. In this case, your answer is 2. Remember, it will be easier to find the degree when you order the terms from greatest to least by powers.
