~\hspace{7em}\textit{negative exponents} \\\\ a^{-n} \implies \cfrac{1}{a^n} ~\hspace{4.5em} a^n\implies \cfrac{1}{a^{-n}} ~\hspace{4.5em} \cfrac{a^n}{a^m}\implies a^na^{-m}\implies a^{n-m} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \left(\cfrac{1}{3}\cdot \cfrac{1}{3}\cdot \cfrac{1}{3}\cdot \cfrac{1}{3} \right)^2\implies \left[ \left( \cfrac{1}{3} \right)^4 \right]^2\implies \left( \cfrac{1^4}{3^4} \right)^2 \\\\\\ \left( \cfrac{1^{4\cdot 2}}{3^{4\cdot 2}} \right) \implies \cfrac{1}{3^8} \implies 3^{-8}

let's recall that  

\begin{array}{llll} 1^1&=&1\\ 1^{10}&=&1\\ 1^{1,000}&=&1\\ 1^{1,000,000,000}&=&1\\ 1^{1,000,000,000,000}&=&1\\ \end{array}

Leslie decides to join a gym. She must pay a monthly fee plus a one-time fee to open a membership. This situation can be modeled
liq [111]

Answer:

see below (I hope this helps!)

Step-by-step explanation:

The x seems to represent the number of months that Leslie has joined the gym for. When x = 0 (basically when she hasn't started using her membership), she pays 55(0) + 50 = $50 so we know that the 50 represents the one-time fee. The only thing missing is the monthly fee and since we haven't defined what the 55 means, we can conclude that the 55 represents the monthly fee. This makes sense because 55x is simply 55 times x, and since x is the number of months, 55 times that would be how much Leslie pays per month, otherwise known as the monthly fee.

At 8:00 am the smiths left a camp ground, driving at 48 mi/h. At 8:20 am the Garcia's left the same campground and followed the
Fantom [35]

Answer:

9:40 am

Step-by-step explanation:

Let time taken from when Smith left compound to when Garcia overtakes Smith's car be represented by y

After y hours, Smith has covered 48*y=48y miles

Similarly, due to a difference of 20 minutes which is 20/60=1/3 hours, Garcia moves a distance of

60(y-1/3)

Equating both distances to be the same

60y-20=48y

12y=20

y=20/12=5/3 hours

Converted to minutes

5/3*60=100 minutes= 1 hr 40 mins

Therefore, adding 100 minutes to to starting time of Smith

8:00+1:40=9:40 am

The time that Garcia overtakes Smith is 9:40am

A seamstress needs to cut 15 inches pieces of ribbon from a roll of ribbon that is 9 feet in length what is the greatest number
Natali [406]

Answer: 36

Step-by-step explanation:

One roll is of length = 9 feet

1 foot = 12 inches

9 feet = 12 *9 = 108 inches

Since there are 5 rolls

So, total length of 5 rolls = 108 * 5 = 540 inches

Since we are given that A seamstress needs to cut 15-inch pieces of ribbon from a roll of ribbon that is 9 feet in length.

We are supposed to find . What is the greatest number of 15-inch pieces the seamstress can cut from 5 of these rolls of ribbon

So, number of 15-inch pieces the seamstress can cut from 5 of these rolls of ribbon:

Hence the greatest number of 15-inch pieces the seamstress can cut from 5 of these rolls of ribbon is 36
