Question

Divide –50m3n5 by –5m2n2. A. 10mn3 B. –45m5n7 C. –10mn3 D. 45m5n7

Answer 1

A. 10mn3

Explanation:

To do such division, you need to divide each term (-50, m3 and n5) by its counterpart below.

So, to divide –50m3n5 by –5m2n2, we must do

–50 / -5 = 10

m3 / m2 = m

n5 / n2 = n3

So, overall we have 10mn3

That's easy like that.
