2d^2e X 5d^2e^2

I don't know... Is the denominator d^43^3?

no, it's in the denominator

4 X (g^2)^2 <<< What do I do with these twos?

we finished with this one, why are you going back?

I am really very sorry. I am so tired. I have been up since 5 in the morning.
So which problem is left? What was the answer to number 3?

you already did #3, problem 5 is the only one left, the one where you asked me about the denominator. just finish that

Is it:

d^8e^6
---------
10d^4e^3 ?

No, is it:

10d^4e^3 ?

Hang on:

d^14e^3 ?

this is it, except the 10 is a 2, since 20/10 = 2


what was your other answer about?

Whew, thank goodness for that. I don't know... You can't add the 10 to the d^4?

Ha ha! So this thread ends! I finally understand now.

20 d^8 e^6
--- X ----- X ----
10 d^4 e^2
