Question

Please help! Make sure to simplify

Answer 1

`(5b^(5)c)/(4c^4) * (8c)/(b^4)`

`(40b^(5)c^2)/(4b^(4)c^4)`

`{10b^(5-4)c^(2-4)}`

`10bc^-2`

`(10b)/(c^2)`

Answer 2

Explanation:

`\frac{5 {b}^(5) c}{ 4{c}^(4) } * \frac{8c}{ {b}^(4) }`

First reduce the expression with b⁴

b⁴ will cancel b^5 remaining with one b

That's

`\frac{5bc}{4 {c}^(4) } * 8c`

Next reduce 8 and 4 with their GCF which is 4

We have

`\frac{5bc}{ {c}^(4) } * 2c`

Reduce the expression with c .

c will go into c⁴ remaining with c³

That's

`\frac{5bc}{ {c}^(3) } * 2`

Simplify the expression again with c

That's

`\frac{5b}{ {c}^(2) } * 2`

Multiply the expression

We have the final answer as

`\frac{10b}{ {c}^(2) }`
