Exercise 61 Page 51

Rewrite each power as a product.

121/144

Practice makes perfect
Let's first rewrite each power as a product.
(5/6)^2* (1 110)^2

Write power as a product

5/6* 5/6* 1 110* 1 110
Next, we will rewrite each mixed number as fraction.
5/6* 5/6* 1 110* 1 110
5/6* 5/6* 1* 10+1/10* 1* 10+1/10
5/6* 5/6* 10+1/10* 10+1/10
5/6* 5/6* 11/10* 11/10
When we multiply fractions, we need to remember that the product of two fractions is equal to the product of the numerators divided by the product of the denominators. Let's find the given product!
5/6* 5/6* 11/10* 11/10
5* 5/6*6* 11/10* 11/10
5* 5* 11/6*6* 10* 11/10
5* 5* 11 * 11/6*6* 10* 10
