Simplify:

16t³/14t³

Is the answer 2, 2t, or something else?

Thank you!

Umm... sorry, no. But I am in grade 7.

the answer should be 8/7

when you are dividing expressions with exponents of the same letter,
you just subtract the exponents
so 3 - 3 = 0, therefore there would be no more t.
so 16/14 simplifies to 8/7

To simplify the expression (16t³)/(14t³), we can divide the numerator (16t³) by the denominator (14t³).

When we divide like terms with the same base (t³), we subtract the exponents.

Thus, we have:

(16t³)/(14t³) = 16/14

Now, we can simplify the fraction 16/14 by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator, which is 2.

So, dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2, we get:

16/14 = 8/7

Therefore, the simplified form of the expression (16t³)/(14t³) is 8/7.

Hence, the answer is not 2 or 2t, but rather 8/7.

To simplify the expression (16t³)/(14t³), you can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their highest common factor, which is 2t³.

Dividing 16t³ by 2t³ gives us 8, and dividing 14t³ by 2t³ gives us 7.

So, the simplified expression is: 8/7.

Therefore, the answer is not 2 or 2t, but rather 8/7.
