Simplify Expression...5

Simplify the given expression. Express the answer so that all exponents are positive. Whenever an exponent is 0 or negative, assume that the base is not 0.

[5^(-3) x^6]/[6^(-3) y^6]

(x^6/125) ÷ (y^6/216)

(x^6/125) • (216/y^6)

(216 x^6)/(125 y^6)

You say?

Thank you for checking my work. By the way, I have not put aside probability altogether. I just needed a break from algebra. Now back to Michael Sullivan's textbook. Of course, I will continue to jump into the probability swimming pool from time to time but let us return to our college algebra train ride.
