Please help with this question, step by step explanation thanks

Answer 1

`0.8c^2w^3`

Explanation:

What you need to know here is that when a variable is brought to the numerator (and vice-versa) its power becomes negative. So when we bring c^2 to the top, it becomes c^-2

Another thing to know is that when two of the same variable is multiplied together, you add the powers. So c^4 * c^-2 becomes c^2, because 4-2 = 2.

Using both of these rules, let's solve:

`(12c^4w^5)/(15c^2w^2) \\0.8c^4c^(-2)w^5w^(-2)\\0.8c^2w^3`

And that is our answer :)

(*note: if the answer is in fractions, just keep the 12/15 instead of turning it into a 0.8)
