12/3×11/3 why the exponents can not be added

The bases are not the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

12/3 is not equal to 11/3

Therefore we cannot add the exponents together.

Hope I helped :)

(see below)

Step-by-step explanation:

12³ × 11³ is NOT equivalent to (12 × 11) because:

1) 12³ and 11³ don't have the same bases. They have to both have a base of 11 or of 12.

2) 12³ × 11³ and (12 × 11) are different because (12 × 11) is a whole different number altogether. Here's why:

12³ × 11³ = 1728 × 1331

              = 2,299,968

(12 × 11) =

                  = 1.216649217 ×

However, (12 × 11)³ would be equivalent to 12³ × 11³.

(12 × 11)³ = (132)³

               = 2,299,968
