According to Edgenuity, the answer includes:

-Use the product of powers property to simplify the numerator by removing the parentheses.

-Follow the order of operations by removing the innermost parentheses first.

-Cube the quantity to get the product of 2 to the third power, r to the 6th power, and t to the third power, or 23r6t3 in the numerator.
