Simplify:

16t³/14t³

Is the answer 2, 2t, or something else?

Thank you!

Umm... sorry, no. But I am in grade 7.

the answer should be 8/7
when you are dividing expressions with exponents of the same letter,
you just subtract the exponents
so 3 - 3 = 0, therefore there would be no more t.
so 16/14 simplifies to 8/7
