A clear explanation of how you got your solution would very much be appreciated!

Answer 1

10m

Explanation:

Your teacher probably told you the necessary fundamentals of monomials. So, I'll just teach you the things needed for this particular question.

10m^3/(10m)(m)

First, in the denominator, since that m are being multiplied and they are the same terms, their exponents add:

10m * m

10m^1 * m^1

1 + 1 = 2

10m^2

Then, since that m are now being divided, their exponents subtract:

10m^3 / 10m^2

3 - 2 = 1

10m^1

10m
