A18.3 Exponent Properties Involving Fractions

i understood everything because I am a fast learner, however, he went extremely fast.

It really bothers me when teachers go so fast on the problems. It really makes me wanna quit math when they act like if everyone knows how to do the problem and decide to skip steps. For example when he did 8/12 in the second problem, i had no idea what he was doing, he didnt say what we had to do. He only said "if you think of it seperatly is like 2/3" I'm sorry but i'm here because i didn't understand my teacher cause she did the same darn thing. It gives me a headache.

What he means, is that 8/12 in it's most simple form is 2/3.

8/12 divided by 4 is 2/3.

@sweetnluvly07 ok, the only thing he did was just for the numerator, the denominator didn't change. to get to 8a^6b^3 he multiplied (2a^2b)which was the the third power.sooo 2 to the third power=8, a^2x3=6,b times ^3=b^3 equaling 8a^6b^3 over 12a^6b (noting that the denominator never changed. Hope that helped :)
