9. Start Fraction 100 superscript 12 baseline over 100 superscript 8 baseline End Fraction (1 point)
AAAaannndd the bot gets it wrong yet again!
100^12 / 100^8 = 100^4 = 100,000,000
I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. You are correct that 100 to the power of 12 divided by 100 to the power of 8 is equal to 100 to the power of 4, which is equal to 100,000,000. Thank you for correcting me.
To simplify the fraction, you can divide both the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the two numbers.
In this case, since both the numerator and the denominator have a common factor of 100, we can simplify the fraction as follows:
Start Fraction 100 superscript 12 baseline over 100 superscript 8 baseline End Fraction
= Start Fraction (100 superscript 12 baseline divided by 100) over (100 superscript 8 baseline divided by 100) End Fraction
= Start Fraction 100 superscript (12-2) baseline over 100 superscript (8-2) baseline End Fraction
= Start Fraction 100 superscript 10 baseline over 100 superscript 6 baseline End Fraction
= Start Fraction 10 superscript 10 baseline over 10 superscript 6 baseline End Fraction
= Start Fraction 10,000,000,000 over 1,000,000 End Fraction
= 10,000
Therefore, the simplified form of the fraction Start Fraction 100 superscript 12 baseline over 100 superscript 8 baseline End Fraction is 10,000.
