Solve 24cm/44cm

$$\frac { 24 cm } { 44 cm }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{6}{11}\approx 0.545454545$$

Steps Using Quotient of Powers Property

Use the rules of exponents to simplify the expression.

$$\frac{24^{1}c^{1}m^{1}}{44^{1}c^{1}m^{1}}$$

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

$$\frac{24^{1}}{44^{1}}c^{1-1}m^{1-1}$$

Subtract 1 from 1.

$$\frac{24^{1}}{44^{1}}c^{0}m^{1-1}$$

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

$$\frac{24^{1}}{44^{1}}m^{1-1}$$

Subtract 1 from 1.

$$\frac{24^{1}}{44^{1}}m^{0}$$

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

$$\frac{24^{1}}{44^{1}}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{24}{44} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.

$$\frac{6}{11}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 \cdot 3}{11} = 0.5454545454545454$$
