Answer:

Explanation:

I am assuming that you meant the following:

12b^7

------------

4b^5

Note that " ^ " is the proper symbol for exponentiation, and " * " for multiplication.

12/4 = 3 and b^7 / b^5 = b^2. Thus,

12b^7

------------ = 3b^2 (or, better yet, 3b²).

4b^5

First, just divide the numbers:

12/4 = 3

When dividing values with exponents, you have to subtract the exponents:

7 - 5 = 2

Therefore, your answer would be option B. 3b^2

Hope This Helps You!

Good Luck (:

Have A Great Day ^-^
