    Can someone help me find n in the following equation.
    Ive managed to simplifiy it down but cant get the correct answer.

    L.T^-3=(M.L^-1.T^-1)(L^n) / (M.L^-1.T^-1)(L)

    dots mean multiply. Sorry i cant write it our better. Thanks in advance

    not sure if it's just the notation, but otherwise that equation doesn't make any sense

    Is that definitely the equation? The Ts don't match.

    L.T^-3=(M.L^-1.T^-1)(L^n) / (M.L^-1.T^-1)(L)
    = L^n / L
    = L^(n-1)
