Solve 7cm/6cm

$$\frac { 7 cm } { 6 cm }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{7}{6}\approx 1.166666667$$

Steps Using Quotient of Powers Property

Use the rules of exponents to simplify the expression.

$$\frac{7^{1}c^{1}m^{1}}{6^{1}c^{1}m^{1}}$$

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

$$\frac{7^{1}}{6^{1}}c^{1-1}m^{1-1}$$

Subtract 1 from 1.

$$\frac{7^{1}}{6^{1}}c^{0}m^{1-1}$$

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

$$\frac{7^{1}}{6^{1}}m^{1-1}$$

Subtract 1 from 1.

$$\frac{7^{1}}{6^{1}}m^{0}$$

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

$$\frac{7^{1}}{6^{1}}$$

Divide 7 by 6.

$$\frac{7}{6}$$

Factor

$$\frac{7}{2 \cdot 3} = 1\frac{1}{6} = 1.1666666666666667$$
