Answer:

B.) 2x¹⁰y¹²

Explanation:

To begin, because all of the terms in the top and bottom are combined (right next to each other being multiplied), the coefficients can be divided like any normal number. When you divide variables with powers, you need to subtract the denominator powers from the numerator powers.

Therefore,

60 / 30 = 2

x²⁰ / x¹⁰ = x²⁰ ⁻ ¹⁰ = x¹⁰

y²⁴ / y¹² = y²⁴ ⁻ ¹² = y¹²

Combined, the simplified expression is 2x¹⁰y¹².
