Solve 14yd/20yd

$$\frac { 14 y d } { 20 y d }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{7}{10}=0.7$$

Steps Using Quotient of Powers Property

Use the rules of exponents to simplify the expression.

$$\frac{14^{1}y^{1}d^{1}}{20^{1}y^{1}d^{1}}$$

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

$$\frac{14^{1}}{20^{1}}y^{1-1}d^{1-1}$$

Subtract 1 from 1.

$$\frac{14^{1}}{20^{1}}y^{0}d^{1-1}$$

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

$$\frac{14^{1}}{20^{1}}d^{1-1}$$

Subtract 1 from 1.

$$\frac{14^{1}}{20^{1}}d^{0}$$

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

$$\frac{14^{1}}{20^{1}}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{14}{20} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{7}{10}$$

Factor

$$\frac{7}{2 \cdot 5} = 0.7$$
