Answer:
- 27 hot dogs
- 13 bags of popcorn
Step-by-step explanation:
Had all received popcorn, the bill would have been 40×$1.75 = $70. The bill was $13.50 more than that. Each hot dog purchased in place of popcorn adds $0.50 to the bill, so the number of hot dogs must be ...
$13.50/$0.50 = 27
Of course, the remainder of the 40 items were popcorn, so 13 bags of popcorn.
27 hot dogs and 13 bags of popcorn were purchased.
Answer:
Raising something to a negative exponent is just taking the reciprocal of the amount.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's assume that you wanted to know what 
is.
To find it, you would take the reciprocal of the x amount. So becomes 
.
This works because of the nature of exponents. Exponents represent the number of times you are multiplying a value by itself. So 
would be equal to a · a · a. To increase the exponent, you increase the number of times the value is multiplied by itself: To increase to 
, you would have to multiply a with two more times (a · a · a · a · a). To decrease the exponent, you must divide the value by itself. So to decrease to 
, you would have to divide by a 3 times.
If the exponent is 0, the value is equal to 1. But you can still decrease the exponent into negative numbers. You just divide 1 by a the desired amount of times: 
means that you are dividing 1 by a 3 times.
Hope this helps.

Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
4 to 7 = 4/7
5/8 is not.
12/20 = 6/10 = 3/5 . It is not equivalent.
8:14 = 4 : 7 . It is equivalent
5 to 10 = 1 to 2. It is not.
16/28 = 8/14 = 4/7. It is equivalent.
9 to 16 = 9 to 16. It is not equivalent.
So only 8:14 and 16/28 are equivalent to 4 to 7.
