Answer:

4/t

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the rational expression:


(8t)/(2t^2)

We can rewrite it as:


\begin{gathered} =(8)/(2)*(t)/(t^2) \\ =4*(t)/(t^2) \end{gathered}

Next, apply the law of exponent-division.


\begin{gathered} =4* t^(1-2) \\ =4* t^(-1) \\ =4*(1)/(t) \\ =(4)/(t) \end{gathered}

The simplified form of the expression is 4/t.
