Solve 5ft/6ft

$$\frac { 5 ft } { 6 ft }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{5}{6}\approx 0.833333333$$

Steps Using Quotient of Powers Property

Use the rules of exponents to simplify the expression.

$$\frac{5^{1}f^{1}t^{1}}{6^{1}f^{1}t^{1}}$$

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

$$\frac{5^{1}}{6^{1}}f^{1-1}t^{1-1}$$

Subtract 1 from 1.

$$\frac{5^{1}}{6^{1}}f^{0}t^{1-1}$$

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

$$\frac{5^{1}}{6^{1}}t^{1-1}$$

Subtract 1 from 1.

$$\frac{5^{1}}{6^{1}}t^{0}$$

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

$$\frac{5^{1}}{6^{1}}$$

Divide 5 by 6.

$$\frac{5}{6}$$

Factor

$$\frac{5}{2 \cdot 3} = 0.8333333333333334$$
