Identify Given Expression: Identify the given expression and break it down into smaller parts that can be simplified individually.The expression is (25×52×t8)/(103×t4).
Simplify Numerical Part: Simplify the numerical part of the expression by dividing 25 by 103. Since 103 is 10×10×10, which equals 1000, we can simplify 25/1000 to 1/40 by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 25.
Simplify Powers of 5: Simplify the powers of 5 by recognizing that 52 is part of the numerator and 103 in the denominator has a factor of 53. Since 10 is 5×2, we can rewrite 103 as (5×2)3, which is 53×23. Now we can cancel out 52 from the numerator with part of 53 in the denominator, leaving us with 521 in the denominator.
Simplify Powers of t: Simplify the powers of t by recognizing that t8 is in the numerator and t4 is in the denominator.We can divide t8 by t4 to get t8−4, which simplifies to t4.
Combine Simplified Parts: Combine the simplified parts to form the final simplified expression.We have 1/40 from the numerical part, 1/5 from the powers of 5, and t4 from the powers of t.Multiplying these together, we get (1/40)×(1/5)×t4.
Further Simplify Numerical Part: Simplify the numerical part further by multiplying 401 by 51. 401×51 equals 2001.
Write Final Expression: Write the final simplified expression.The final simplified expression is (1/200)×t4, or t4/200.
