First we need to set up some equations (J is the books Jim has, C is the books Charles has and B is the books Bob has)
J=3C
C=2/3(B)

Then we just plug in the numbers to find the answer
C=2/3(27)
C=18

J=3(18)
J=54

Jim has 54 comic books

Please help me with this problem.
mariarad [96]

Answer:

x^{\frac{8}{3}}y^{-\frac{5}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember the rule for converting radicals and exponents into fractions.  The power is the numerator of the fraction, and the nth root is the denominator of the fraction.  Also, remember that dividing by an exponent means the exponent will be negative.

\frac{\sqrt[3]{x^{8} } }{\sqrt[6]{y^{5} } } \\\\\frac{x^{\frac{8}{3} } }{y^{\frac{5}{6} } } \\\\x^{\frac{8}{3}}y^{-\frac{5}{6}
