Choose the correct simplification of the expression a^7b^8/a^4b^4 a: a^11b^12 b: a^3b^4 c: 1/a^3b^4 d: 1/a^3b^2

The answer is B: a^3b^4

Proof:
Simplify the following:
(a^7 b^8)/(a^4 b^4)

Combine powers. (a^7 b^8)/(a^4 b^4) = a^(7 - 4) b^(8 - 4):
a^(7 - 4) b^(8 - 4)

7 - 4 = 3:
a^3 b^(8 - 4)

8 - 4 = 4:
  a^3 b^4

PS: I just wish that you put the equation down as it's intended i.e.
a^7b^8/a^4b^4 is not the same as (a^7b^8)/(a^4b^4)

Ask google i believe they can you with that question
