Can you walk me through the process to answer #6.

(.00667/800) / (.025/3,000)

I think I am confusing myself when dividing using neg exponents.

Thanks

.00667/800 is divided by .025/3000 (invert and multiply)

.00667/800 * 3000/.025

3000/800 * .00667/.025 .... multiply top and bottom of 2nd part each by 100

30/8 * .667/2.5

(30 * .667 )/8 * 1/2.5 .... .667 = 2/3 ... 30 * 2/3 = 20

20/8 * 1/(25/10)

20/8 * 10/25
