Question

Someone pls me out with this problem. Divide m2n2/p3 by mp/n2

Answer 1

Answer:

$\dfrac{mn^5}{p^4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

As with dividing any fractions, invert the denominator and multiply. Use the rules of exponents to combine factors.

$\dfrac{\dfrac{m^2n^3}{p^3}}{\dfrac{mp}{n^2}}=\dfrac{m^2n^3}{p^3}\cdot\dfrac{n^2}{mp}\\\\=\dfrac{m^2n^3n^2}{p^3mp}=\dfrac{m^{2-1}n^{3+2}}{p^{3+1}}=\dfrac{mn^5}{p^4}$

_____

The applicable rules are ...

$a^ba^c=a^{b+c}\\\\\dfrac{a^b}{a^c}=a^{b-c}$
