Question

Divide the following expressions

a) 51x³y⁴ by -17x²y²
b) -108a³b³c by 18abc
c) -84mnp³ by -7mnp³
d) 36p²q²r by -4p²r
e) -700x³y² by 25xy
f) 306a²p³z⁴ by -3a²p²z²​

Answer 1

• (a) 51x³y⁴ by -17x²y²

= 51x³y⁴ ÷ - 17x²y²

= -3xy²

• b) -108a³b³c by 18abc

= -108a³b³c ÷ 18abc

= -6a²b²

• c) -84mnp³ by -7mnp³

= -84mnp³ by -7mnp³

= 12

• d) 36p²q²r by -4p²r

= 36p²q²r ÷ -4p²r

= -9q²

• e) -700x³y² by 25xy

= -700x³y² ÷ 25xy

= -28 x²y

• f) 306a²p³z⁴ by -3a²p²z²

= 306a²p³z⁴ ÷ -3a²p²z²

= -102 pz²
