A) $- 11 p ^ { 4 } w ^ { 3 }$
B) $- 11 p ^ { 3 } w ^ { 4 }$
C) $- 11 w ^ { 3 }$
D) $- 11 p ^ { 4 } w ^ { 5 }$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When dividing monomials with the same base, you subtract the exponents. Therefore, we get $$\frac{-77p^4w^{12}}{7w^9}=-11p^4w^{12-9}=-11p^4w^3.$$ Choice A is the only one that matches this simplified expression.
