I assume you're trying to simplify these.

For all of these, divide the coefficients separately from the x's and that separately from the y's.

#5:
(16t^4)/(8t)

Start with 16/8 = 2.

Then move to
(t^4)/(t).


(t^4)/(t) = (t \cdot t \cdot t \cdot t)/(t)

So, you'll cancel out one t from the top with the one t in the bottom and be left with
t^3.

Putting that all together:


(16t^4)/(8t) = 2t^3

#6:
(x^6y^(14))/(x^4y^9)

You have 6 x's in the top and 4 x's in the bottom. When you cancel out 4 from the top to cancel the 4 in the bottom, you'll be left with 2 x's in the top:


(x^6)/(x^4)=x^2

Similarly, 14 y's up top and 9 in the bottom. When you cancel one-for-one, you'll be left with 5 y's up top:


(y^(14))/(y^9)=y^5

Putting that all together:


(x^6y^(14))/(x^4y^9)=x^2y^5

#7:
(3^4x^4)/(3x^2)

This is the same as #6, just with 3's and x's.

You have four 3's up top and one in the bottom. When you cancel, you'll be left with three 3's up top:


(3^4)/(3)=3^3

You have 4 x's up top and 2 x's down below. That will leave 2 x's up top once you cancel them out:


(x^4)/(x^2)=x^2

Putting that together:


(3^4x^4)/(3x^2)=3^3x^2
