Answer:

Rewrite the expression 8m^6/4m^9 using the rules of exponents

Explanation:

8 ÷ 4 = 2

m^6 ÷ m^9

exponent rule in a division problem is you subtract them so...

6 - 9 = -3

you can't have a negative exponent so it would be 2 over m^3

If you have a negative exponent the rule is "flip it" meaning you flip the sign but when you do that it becomes a fraction. so... 2/m^3
