## anonymous one year ago me and my twin sister are arguing about this problem can someone tell us the steps to this please.

1. anonymous

2. Nnesha

$\huge\rm \frac{ 1 }{ -\frac{ 3 }{ 8 } }$ is it ur question ?? :o ;

3. anonymous

yesss :)

4. Nnesha

waoo so multiply numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator fraction

5. anonymous

okhay have the steps in order so she may understande

6. anonymous

understand

7. Nnesha

u sure u posted the right question ?

8. Nnesha

example $\huge\rm \frac{ a }{ \frac{ b }{ c} } = a \times \frac{ c }{ b }$ multiply top withe the reciprocal of the bottom fraction that's ti

10. Nnesha

|dw:1438037892701:dw|what is that ?

11. Nnesha

is it x ?

12. anonymous

1 x −3 6 yes its X

13. anonymous

You have to get rid of the negative so flip the fraction

16. anonymous

@nerlineg what did You think you did next?

17. anonymous

|dw:1438038053310:dw|

18. Nnesha

i get it now thanks

19. anonymous

this is how the problem looks like

20. anonymous

@nerlineg what i meant is what do you think you do from|dw:1438038146115:dw|

21. Nnesha

$\huge\rm \frac{ 1 }{ x^\frac{- 3 }{6 } }$ like this ?

22. Nnesha

first exponent rule $\huge\rm \frac{ 1 }{ x^{-m} } = x^m$ flip the fraction to change negative to positive exponent

23. anonymous

thanks for copying my answer XD

24. Nnesha

and then apply this exponent rule $\huge\rm x^\frac{ m }{ n } = \sqrt[n]{x^m}$

25. Nnesha

$$\color{blue}{\text{Originally Posted by}}$$ @jcoury thanks for copying my answer XD $$\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}$$ that is not copy of your answer your answer is totally different

26. anonymous

@nerlineg after its (3/8)/1, its just 3/8

27. anonymous

ok lol no arguing you guyss

28. anonymous

@Nnesha flip the fraction to change negative to positive exponent me: You have to get rid of the negative so flip the fraction

29. anonymous

but what do you do after the exponent rule ?

30. Nnesha

thanks for telling me i didn't know that ..

31. Nnesha

you need to convert exponent to root

32. Nnesha

$\huge\rm x^\frac{ m }{ n } = \sqrt[n]{x^m}$ like this

33. anonymous

then we are done right?

34. Nnesha

yep after that exponent rule^ let me know what you get :=)

35. anonymous

wait... you sure you convert exponent too root ?

36. Nnesha

depends on the statement

37. anonymous

depends on the problem ?

38. Nnesha

yes like what they are asking for or do you have options ?

39. anonymous

they basically want me to tell the step on how to simplest that radical

40. anonymous

41. Nnesha

nice thanks so yeah we need 2 more steps

42. Nnesha

so after applying first exponent rule we get $\huge\rm x^\frac{ 3 }{ 6 }$ now reduce the fraction 3/6 = ?

43. anonymous

thaaaaank you !!!!! yess that's the same thing i got

44. Nnesha

my pleasure :=)

45. anonymous

but why all this people viewing my thing but not commenting ? that's wired lol but okhay thanks again..

46. Nnesha

ikr!! LOL i was scared lol LOL

47. anonymous

they sill here LOLOL ommg ! @Nnesha

48. Nnesha

hmm no they r gone :o

49. Nnesha

refresh the page ;)

50. anonymous

oh yeah you right @Nnesha
