What you do to solve this problem you put the faction side-by-side then see what number 16 and six could both go into just multiply 6 times 116 times one and keep on going down to you have the same answer doesn't answer you get is going to be a denominator and then after you get your denominator you do 5 times five and the number you get for you denominator
That's not correct. The terms 2a and 3b are not like terms, so we cannot combine them to get 5ab. We simply leave it as 2a+3b.
If you had 2a+3a, then it would simplify to 5a
Similarly, 2b+3b = 5b
Or you could have 2ab+3ab = 5ab
The key is that the variable portions must match up to be able to add them.
We have been given an expression 
. We are asked to find the solution to our given expression expressed as scientific notation.
Let us simplify our given expression.
Using exponent property 
, we will get:
Now to write our answer in scientific notation, we need our 1st multiple between 1 and 10. So we will rewrite our expression as:
Therefore, our required solution would be .
