Solve 5yd/6yd

$$\frac { 5 y d } { 6 y d }$$

Evaluate

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

Steps Using Quotient of Powers Property

Use the rules of exponents to simplify the expression.

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

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

$$\frac{5^{1}}{6^{1}}y^{1-1}d^{1-1}$$

Subtract 1 from 1.

$$\frac{5^{1}}{6^{1}}y^{0}d^{1-1}$$

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

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

Subtract 1 from 1.

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

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

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

Divide 5 by 6.

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

Factor

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