Question

What's the answer for this question? (The numbers after the letters are indexes btw) 27a9 x 18b5 x 4c2 Over 18a4 x 12b2 x 2c

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{27a^9 * 18b^5 * 4c^2 }{18a^4 * 12b^2 * 2c} = \frac{9}{2}a^5b^3c$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{27a^9 * 18b^5 * 4c^2 }{18a^4 * 12b^2 * 2c}$

Required

Simplify

$\frac{27a^9 * 18b^5 * 4c^2 }{18a^4 * 12b^2 * 2c}$

Cancel out 18

$\frac{27a^9 * b^5 * 4c^2 }{a^4 * 12b^2 * 2c}$

Divide 4 and 2

$\frac{27a^9 * b^5 * 2c^2 }{a^4 * 12b^2 *c}$

Divide 27 and 12 by 3

$\frac{9a^9 * b^5 * 2c^2 }{a^4 * 4b^2 *c}$

Apply law of indices

$\frac{9a^{9-4} * b^{5-2} * 2c^{2-1} }{4}$

$\frac{9a^5 * b^3 * 2c }{4}$

Divide 2 and 4

$\frac{9a^5 * b^3 * c}{2}$

$\frac{9a^5b^3c}{2}$

Rewrite as:

$\frac{9}{2}a^5b^3c$

Hence:

$\frac{27a^9 * 18b^5 * 4c^2 }{18a^4 * 12b^2 * 2c} = \frac{9}{2}a^5b^3c$
