Question

Simplify 5p2 over 5p3

Answer 1

5p^2 / 5p^3 = p^2 / p^3
(the 5 gets cancelled as it is common)
p^2 / p^3 = 1 / p
as p^2 / p^3 is same as p*p / p*p*p
(2 p's are common in the denominator and the numerator, so it is cancelled out)
We are then left with 1 / p

Hope it helped!

Answer 2

The simplified form of the given expression is,

`(1)/(p)`

Explanation:

Given expression,

5p² over 5p³

`\implies (5p^2)/(5p^3)`

`=(p^2)/(p^3)`

`=p^2* p^(-3)` (
`a^n=(1)/(a^(-n))` )

`=p^(2-3)` (
`a^m.a^n=a^(m+n)` )

`=p^(-1)`

`=(1)/(p)`

Since, further simplification is not possible,

Hence, the simplified form of the given expression is,

`(1)/(p)`
