Explain how the quotient of powers property was used to simplify this expression.

a: by simplifying 9 to 3^2 to make both powers base three and adding the exponents

b: by simplifying 9 to 3^2 to make both powers base three and subtracting the exponents

c: by finding the quotient of the bases to be 1/3 and simplifying the expression

d: by finding the quotient of the bases to be 1/3 and cancelling common factors

if a = 1,   and b = 2, then the answer is 47.99999999. if you round that to the nearest whole number, the answer is 48.

ratio is 2 : 9

the answer is three

13.5 : 3
