Answer: a = 17/6
Step-by-step explanation:
I will use two laws of indices to solve this question
1. x^a / x^b = x^(a-b)
2. x^a = x^b, => a = b
Using both laws
x³/x^1/6 = x^a
x^(3-1/6) = x^a
3 - 1/6 = a
a = 3 - 1/6
a = (18 - 1)/6 using LCM
a = 17/6

Step-by-step explanation:
I believe the answer will always be one.
Heres an example: 5/8 • 8/5 = 1
Answer:
multiply 77 by 10 which is 770 then you multiply it by 5 which is half of 10 so 385 then add them together and you get 1155
