Solve 13cm/5cm

$$\frac { 13 cm } { 5 cm }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{13}{5}=2.6$$

Steps Using Quotient of Powers Property

Use the rules of exponents to simplify the expression.

$$\frac{13^{1}c^{1}m^{1}}{5^{1}c^{1}m^{1}}$$

To divide powers of the same base, subtract the denominator's exponent from the numerator's exponent.

$$\frac{13^{1}}{5^{1}}c^{1-1}m^{1-1}$$

Subtract 1 from 1.

$$\frac{13^{1}}{5^{1}}c^{0}m^{1-1}$$

For any number a except 0, a^{0}=1.

$$\frac{13^{1}}{5^{1}}m^{1-1}$$

Subtract 1 from 1.

$$\frac{13^{1}}{5^{1}}m^{0}$$

For any number a except 0, a^{0}=1.

$$\frac{13^{1}}{5^{1}}$$

Divide 13 by 5.

$$\frac{13}{5}$$

Factor

$$\frac{13}{5} = 2\frac{3}{5} = 2.6$$
