Mr Sharrone can do 1/3 of the job each hour 
<span>the assistant does 1/5 of the job each hour </span>

<span>1(1/3) + H (1/5) = 1 (complete job) </span>
<span>1/3 + 1/5 H = 1 </span>
<span>1/5 H = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3 </span>
<span>H = (2/3) / (1/5) = 10/3 = 3 1/3 hours to complete the job</span>

What is 1/144 as an expression using a negative exponent
MrRissso [65]

ANSWER

{12}^{ - 2}

EXPLANATION

The given expression is

\frac{1}{144}

This is the same as:

\frac{1}{12 \times 12}

In index notation, we write this as

\frac{1}{ {12}^{2} }

To write this as a negative index, we use the property:

\frac{1}{ {a}^{m} }  =  {a}^{- m}

This implies that;

\frac{1}{ {12}^{2} }  =  {12}^{ - 2}
