When the following fraction is reduced, what will be the exponent on the m? 27mn^3/56m^6n
2 answers:
Answer:
The exponent of m is -5
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is to check if the coeeficient is in its simplest form. It is because the lowest common multiple of 27 and 56 is 1.
The second step is to subtract the exponents of identical variable/numbers with the same base. for n it is 3 minus 1 = 2. For m it is 1 - 6 = -5

Treat this as if the inequality sign was the same thing as an equal sign. Most of the equality rules apply to inequalities (with a few exceptions)
Subtract both sides by 4
Multiply both sides by 2
We want the unknown variable on the left side (because it looks nicer)
