Answer: 81 Explanation: [(2^2) (3^4) (12^3)]/[(2^5) (6^3)] Whenever you have a number that can be separated into parts you can and give the same exponent: [(2^2) (3^4) (2^3x2^3x3^3)]/[(2^5)(2^3x3^3)] Whenever you multiply two terms with the same base, you can add the exponents: =[(2^8)(3^7)]/[(2^8)(3^3)] Take both 2^8’s out =(3^7)/(3^3) Whenever you have two exponents with the same base divided you just subtract the exponents: =3^4 =81 The answer is 81
