Question

The quotient of 6 cubed and 4 squared

Answer 1

ANSWER

13.5

EXPLANATION

We write 6 cubed as 6³

We write 4 squared as 4²

The quotient of 6 cubed and 4 squared is written as

$\frac{ {6}^{3} }{ {4}^{2} }$

We expand to obtain:

$\frac{6 \times 6 \times 6}{4 \times 4}$

Cancel out the common factors to get,

$\frac{3 \times 3 \times 3}{2}$

This simplifies to

$\frac{27}{2} = 13.5$
