Solve 6cm/4cm

$$\frac { 6 cm } { 4 cm }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{3}{2}=1.5$$

Steps Using Quotient of Powers Property

Use the rules of exponents to simplify the expression.

$$\frac{6^{1}c^{1}m^{1}}{4^{1}c^{1}m^{1}}$$

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

$$\frac{6^{1}}{4^{1}}c^{1-1}m^{1-1}$$

Subtract 1 from 1.

$$\frac{6^{1}}{4^{1}}c^{0}m^{1-1}$$

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

$$\frac{6^{1}}{4^{1}}m^{1-1}$$

Subtract 1 from 1.

$$\frac{6^{1}}{4^{1}}m^{0}$$

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

$$\frac{6^{1}}{4^{1}}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{6}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{3}{2}$$

Factor

$$\frac{3}{2} = 1\frac{1}{2} = 1.5$$
