Divide the monomials. $\frac { 2 y ^ { 5 } q ^ { 11 } } { y ^ { 3 } q ^ { 4 } }$
A) $2 y ^ { 2 } q ^ { 8 }$
B) $2 y ^ { 1 } q ^ { 11 }$
C) $2 y ^ { 2 } q ^ { 7 }$
D) $2 y ^ { 4 } q ^ { 7 }$
E) $2 y ^ { 3 } q ^ { 8 }$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To divide monomials, subtract the exponents of the same variables. For $y$, we have $5-3=2$ and for $q$ we have $11-4=7$. So, $\frac{2y^5q^{11}}{y^3q^4}=2y^2q^7$. Therefore, the answer is choice C.
