Question

After you write it out & cancel, what will be "leftover" in the numerator? EXPLAIN HOW YOU KNOW.

Answer 1

Answer:

x

Step-by-step explanation:

When writing out an canceling variable/exponents within a fraction, you always subtract the top and bottom. So...

$\frac{x^{4}y^{3}}{x^{3}y^{4}}$

When you subtract, you always put the leftover variable in the spot that had the highest valued exponent.

So the equation simplifies to $\frac{x}{y}$

x, is on top so it is the numerator.
