Which of the following is equal to the fraction below?

[tex]\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^6[/tex]

A. [tex]\frac{24}{30}[/tex]

B. [tex]\frac{4^6}{5}[/tex]

C. [tex]\frac{4^6}{5^6}[/tex]

D. [tex]6 \cdot \left(\frac{4}{5}\right)[/tex]

Answer :

To solve this problem, we need to determine which option is equal to [tex]\(\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^6\)[/tex].

Let's evaluate the given options:

1. Option A: [tex]\(\frac{24}{30}\)[/tex]

Simplify [tex]\(\frac{24}{30}\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
\frac{24}{30} = \frac{24 \div 6}{30 \div 6} = \frac{4}{5}
\][/tex]
This is not equal to [tex]\(\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^6\)[/tex].

2. Option B: [tex]\(\frac{4^6}{5}\)[/tex]

This expression is not equal to [tex]\(\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^6\)[/tex] because the denominator is not raised to the 6th power.

3. Option C: [tex]\(\frac{4^6}{5^6}\)[/tex]

This expression represents [tex]\(\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^6\)[/tex] because both the numerator and the denominator are raised to the 6th power separately, which is consistent with the properties of exponents:
[tex]\[
\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^6 = \frac{4^6}{5^6}
\][/tex]

4. Option D: [tex]\(6 \cdot \left(\frac{4}{5}\right)\)[/tex]

This option simply multiplies [tex]\(\frac{4}{5}\)[/tex] by 6, which is not related to raising the fraction to the 6th power.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option C: [tex]\(\frac{4^6}{5^6}\)[/tex]. This option correctly represents [tex]\(\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^6\)[/tex].
