Please help! <br> Simplify. Your answer should contain only positive exponents.

Answer:

$\frac{1}{4k^3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

It's already in a form that only ha positive exponents. Just to state it though you could rewrite it as $k*(4k^{4})^{-1}$ or $k*4^{-1}*k^{-4}$ The question asks for positive exponents though so yu don't need to do that.

You also need to know $\frac{x^a}{x^b}=x^{a-b}$ so in this case $\frac{k}{k^4}=\frac{k^1}{k^4} =k^{1-4}=k^{-3}=\frac{1}{k^3}$

so $\frac{k}{4k^4}=\frac{1}{4}*\frac{k}{k^4}=\frac{1}{4}*\frac{1}{k^3}=\frac{1}{4k^3}$

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

the answer is 5:7

Step-by-step explanation:

as a fraction, the ratio looks like this:

1500/2100

where 1500 is the number of rolls with double prints and 2100 is the amount of rolls developed.

if you simplify the fraction, you get 5/7.

5/7 is 5:7 written as a ratio in this problem.

hope this helped!!

Nina purchased apples and strawberries. She purchased a total of 9 pounds of fruit and spent a total of $16.35. Strawberries cos

irina [24]

Answer:

4 pounds of strawberries and 5 pounds of apples are bought.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of pounds of fruit = 9 pounds

Total money spent = $16.35

Cost of 1 pound of strawberry = $1.60

Cost of 1 pound of apple = $1.99

Let 'x' pounds of strawberries and 'y' pounds of apples are bought.

So, <u><em>as per question:</em></u>

<em>The sum of the pounds is 9. So,</em>

$x+y=9\\\\y=9-x----1$

Now, total sum of the fruits is equal to the sum of 'x' pounds of strawberries and 'y' pounds of apples. So,

$1.60x+1.99y=16.35----2$

Now, plug in the 'y' value from equation (1) in to equation (2). This gives,

$1.60x+1.99(9-x)=16.35\\\\1.60x+17.91-1.99x=16.35\\\\Combining\ like\ terms, we get:\\\\1.60x-1.99x=16.35-17.91\\\\-0.39x=-1.56\\\\x=\frac{-1.56}{-0.39}=4\ pounds$

Now, from equation 1, we have:

$y=9-4=5\ pounds$

Therefore, 4 pounds of strawberries and 5 pounds of apples are bought.
