Break out the prime factors in the denominators.didieravoaka wrote: If (1/5)�(1/4)¹� = 1/(2(10)³�), then m =
(A) 17
(B) 18
(C) 34
(D) 35
(E) 36
(1/5)�(1/4)¹� = 1/(2(10)³�)
(1/5)�(1/2³�) = 1/(2(2³� x 5³�))
(1/5)�(1/2³�) = 1/((2³�)(5³�))
1/((5�)(2³�)) = 1/((2³�)(5³�))
m must be 35.
The correct answer is D.
