Answer:

3 a^4

Explanation:

4a * 6a^5 / 8a^2

Multiply the terms in the numerator

We know that we add the exponents when like terms with exponents are multiplied

24 a ^(1+5) = 24a^6

24a^6 / 8 a^2

Divide the whole numbers and subtract the exponents since we are dividing like terms with exponents

3 a^(6-2)

3 a^4
