The simplification of the expression will be as follows:
(a^7b^8)/(a^4b^4)
According to the rules of indices, when you divide numbers with the same base, it's the same as subtracting their powers. Hence we shall have:
(a^7b^8)/(a^4b^4)
=(a^(7-4))(b^(8-4))
=a^3b^4
the answer is a^3b^4
Hey there!
-8/-4
= 8/4
= -8 ÷ -4
= 8 ÷ 4
= 2
Therefore, your answer is:
Option B. 2
Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!

Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 68
Explanation:
Let x be the age of Mr Jasmi
y be the age of Miss Haslinda
a + b + c be the age of the 3 children
We can write:
(x + y + a + b + c)/5 = 38
But:
(a + b + c)/3 = 18
a + b + c = 18(3)
a + b + c = 54
Substitute this value to our first equation
(x + y + 54)/5 = 38
x + y + 54 = 38(5)
x + y + 54 = 190
x + y = 190 - 54
x + y = 136
Thus:
Mean age of (mr jasmi and miss Linda) = (x+y)/2
But x + y = 136
=> mean age = 136/2 = 68
