Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

You have to convert one of the numbers. It doesn't matter which one, but you can't simply divide one into the other the way the numbers stand.

Conversion

20 kilograms = 20 * 1000 grams / kg

20 kilograms = 20000 grams

Formula

Number of books = mass of bookcase / mass of 1 book

Givens

number of books = ??

mass of bookcase = 20000 grams

mass of one book = 500 grams

Solution

number of books = 20000 / 500

number of books = 40

Answer: 40 books = mass of bookcase

Which expression is equivalent to (8^2)^-4

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

C: $\frac{1}{8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n}$

Since a = $8^2$ :

$(8^2)^{-n} = \frac{1}{(8^2)^n} =\frac{1}{8^{2n}}$

Since n = 4 :

$(8^2)^{-4} =\frac{1}{8^{2*4}}=\frac{1}{8^{8}}=\frac{1}{8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8}$
