simplify 1/6^3 divided by 1/36

Sagot :

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify the expression:

      1. Change the divisor into it's reciprocal

     2. Change the sign into a multiplication sign.

     3. Evaluate the product of those fractions.

     4. Simplify the fraction. (If possible)

Given expression:

[tex]\dfrac{1}{6^3 } \div \dfrac{1}{36}[/tex]

According to step 1, we need to convert the divisor of the expression into it's reciprocal.

[tex]\dfrac{1}{6^3 } \div \dfrac{36}{1}[/tex]

According to step 2, we need to change the division sign (÷) into a multiplication sign (×).

[tex]\implies \dfrac{1}{6^3 } \times \dfrac{36}{1}[/tex]

According to step 3, we need to determine the product of these fractions. This can be done by evaluating the exponent.

[tex]\implies \dfrac{1}{(6)(6)(6) } \times \dfrac{36}{1}[/tex]

[tex]\implies \dfrac{1}{216 } \times \dfrac{36}{1}[/tex]

Multiply the fractions as needed. [a/b × c/d = (a × c)/(b × d) = (ac)/(bd):

[tex]\implies \dfrac{36}{216 }[/tex]

According to step 4, (If possible), Simplify the product of 1/216 and 36. In this case, the product of 1/216 and 36 is 36/216. Since both are divisible by 6, we can divide the numerator and the denominator by 6 to simplify the fraction.

[tex]\implies \dfrac{36 \div 6}{216 \div 6 }[/tex]

[tex]\implies \dfrac{1}{6 }[/tex]

Therefore, the quotient of 1/6^3 and 1/36 is 1/6.
