I need to write this in simplest form? What would be the steps?

Question

5r^3st^2/-10r^6s^3t

Answer 1

5r^3st^2/-10r^6s^3t

This is a simple fraction where everything is multiplied, so you can split it out to fractions of each term:

5r^3st^2/-10r^6s^3t = -5/10 * r^3/r^6 * s/s^3 * t^2/t

-5/10 * r^3/r^6 * s/s^3 * t^t/t = -1/2 * 1/r^3 * 1/s^2 * t

-1/2 * 1/r^3 * 1/s^2 * t = -t/2r^3s^2 (solution!)

Answer 2

5t^3st^2/-10t^6s^3t= (5/-10)(t^(3+2)s / t^(6+1)s^3 = - t^5 s/2 t^7s^3 =-1/2t^2s^2 ans.
