A ratio of 3:2.
The easiest way to go about this is to divide the actual number of wins (18) by its corresponding element in the ratio.
So:

This means every element on the ratio has a value of 6.
The amount of element in the ratio that correspond to losses is 2.
Multiply the actual amount of matches per element in the ratio by the number of elements that represents the losses in the ratio.

Your answer:
<em>"The team lost 12 games."</em>
X^m means x times itself m times
(-6)^5 means -6 time itself 5 times
simplify it says
remember that
(mn)^x=(m^x)(n^x)
undistribute the -1
(-6)^5=(-1)^5 times (6^5)
(-1)^5=-1 since it is odd power
can be simplified to
-6^5
(note, -6^5 vs (-6)^5 PEMDAS)
Answer:
The total weight of the metal bar in pounds is 25 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Now, we have a metal bar which has a content of 60% zinc corresponding to 15 pounds.
Mathematically, let’s say the total weight of the metal composite is x pounds. It is 60% of this that is 15 pounds which is the content of the zinc
Mathematically;
60/100 * x = 15
60x = 15 * 100
60x = 1500
x = 1500/60
x = 25 pounds
