Hello!

Martin buys more fruit, because 6/3 is greater than 4/3. You can check which fraction is greater by converting it into a decimal, as decimals are sometimes easier to compare.

4 / 3 = 1.3 (Repeating)

6 / 3 = 2

As you can see, 2 is greater than 1.3 Repeating, so 6/3 pounds are greater than 4/3 pounds.

Martin bought more fruit. If both fractions have a denomiator of 3, and Jack buys 4/3, and Martin buys 6/3, it's obviously Martin. 6 is more than 4. We don't have to worry about the denominator.

Answer: B and D

Step-by-step explanation:

First, solve the terms inside of the parenthesis. As a general rule, whenever you multiply two terms that have the same base, you can add their exponents.

Applying this rule, the base in the problem is 6, and the exponents are 3 and -4. The sum of 3 and -4 leaves -1. Therefore, this is one of our solutions:

$(6^-^1)^-^3$

When you have an exponential term raised to another exponent, you can simply multiply the exponents. In the previous solution given above, multiply -1 and -3 to get 3. Therefore our second solution is:

$6^3$
