I have the answer key here for my worksheet, but i have been trying to get the answer, and it hasn't been working out. Can you help me understand this step by step? Here is the answer: x^5/3/4. And the directions say " Simplify. Your answer should only contain only positive exponents with no fractional exponents in the denominator."

can't understand the problem. Can you clarify it a little bit, so the others can help you?
Is it (x^2)/4x^1/3 or (x^2/4)x^1/3 or (x^2/4x^1)/3? (x^5/3)/4?
Anyways, I figured it out....it's (x^2)/4x^1/3
(x^2)/4x^1/3 = (1/4)*(x^2/x^(1/3))= (1/4)*x^(2-1/3)= (1/4)*x^(5/3)=(x^(5/3))/4
Hope that helps =)
