What's your question, though?

@lokistan divide 16x2y8 (x to the second power y to the eight power)?

3. anonymous

Divide it by what, though?

4. anonymous

Are you dividing 16x^2 BY y^8 or something?

a pice of wire 5 /3 m long is to be cut into 15 pieces of the same length. what is the length of each piece

6. anonymous

$\frac{\frac{5}{3}}{15}=\frac{5}{3}\times \frac{1}{15}=\frac{5}{3}\times \frac{1}{3 \times 5}=\frac{1}{3 \times 3} = \frac{1}{9}$

e23, what exactly does your question say?

@ lokisan it doesnt tell me anything it just has the problem...im confused :/ and I have to choose between a) 4xy2 (y to the second power) b) 4xy4 (y to the fourth power) c)8xy4 (y to the fourth power) d)8xy6 (y to the sixth power) as an answer

9. anonymous

I'm confused too, because I can't help you choose an answer without a problem :(

10. anonymous

You're given a choice of several answers, so are you saying there is no question beforehand?

11. anonymous
