A group of 6p people are renting a vacation house together the price of the rental is 3p to the 2nd power if they split the cost evenly what is each members share of the price?

Verified Answer :

so we just do
cost/number of people=cost per 1 person
so
(6p)/(3p^2)
remember that you can split it up and make ones
\(\frac{6p}{3p^{2}}\)=\(\frac{6}{3p}\) times \(\frac{p}{p}\)=\(\frac{2}{1p}\) times \(\frac{p}{p}\) times \(\frac{3}{3}\)=\(\frac{2}{1p}\)  times 1 times 1=2/p

easy way is
remember that
(x^m)/(x^n)=x^(m-n)
so
(6p)(3p^2)=6/(3p=2/p=2p^-1


each member pays 2/p
