What is the number of times a base is multiplied by its self indicated by an exponent

1 answer:

5 0

The question is worded a bit strangely (in my opinion anyway), but I think your teacher wants you to describe how exponents work.

Let's say we had the expression $5^3$

The base is 5 as its the bottom most value (think of something like the base of a tree or building). The exponent is 3.

The exponent of 3 tells the reader to multiply the base 5 by itself 3 times like so

$5^3 = 5*5*5 = 125$

With larger exponents, it becomes more tedious to write out all the repeated multiplications, which is why many calculators have an exponent button to save time.

Change the fraction 7/12 to a decimal. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth

alina1380 [7]

Just divide.

$\sf\dfrac{7}{12}\rightarrow7\div12\rightarrow0.58\overline{3}$

0.583333. . .
^ This is the thousandths place

Look at the number after that, if it's 5 or more we round up, if it's 4 or less we round down.

It's 3, so we round down to 0.583.

Answer:

$55.93 or rounded up is $56

Division

First, we would divide 15.98 by 2 to see how many dollars would a bag cost.

15.98 divided by 2 = $7.99

Multiplication

Then, we would multiply by 7 to see how may dollars would it cost for 7 kg bag

7.99 times 7 = 55.93

Round-up

If we round it up, we get $56.

If the population of a state was 4702644 how many representatives should that state have

WARRIOR [948]

There is not an exact way to answer that question. The number of representatives each state has is determined by the population. However, the total number of house representatives has been capped at 435 since 1913. Currently, the ratio of constituents to representatives is 700,000 to 1. So if you divide the total population by 700,000 you will have an approximation of the number of representatives.

Pippi sold ten more cups of lemonade that cups of iced tea. She sold 120 cups in all. How many cups of lemonade did she sell?

Kamila [148]

Answer:

65 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

If she sold 10 more cups of lemonade than tea and sold 120 cups total. I first would subtract 10 cups from 120 =110. then I divide 110 /2 = 55 cups

The 55 cups makes it equal then I add the 10 cups back to the Lemonade to get 55+10 = 65

So your answer would be 65 cups of lemonade
