Answer: The simplified form is \frac{1}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

3^{-2}

As we know the  "Exponential law":

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

So, it becomes

3^{-2}=\frac{1}{3^2}

Now, at last it becomes,

3^{-2}=\frac{1}{3\times 3}=\frac{1}{9}

Hence, the simplified form is \frac{1}{9}

An 8 foot square floor is to be covered with square tiles measuring 8 inches on each side. If each tile
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

72

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 12 inches in a foot.

Therefore in 8 feet there are 96 inches

Therefore the square floor is 96 * 96.

Therefore the area of the square floor is 9216 inches squared.

Each tile is 8 inches by 8 inches meaning it has an area of 64 inches squared.

9216 / 64 = 144.

Therefore 144 tiles are needed to tile the floor

Since each tile is 50 cents, 144 * 0.5 = 72

Therefore it costs 72 dollars to tile the floor.
