Mathematics

madam [21]3 years ago

No! Remember, you see a negative exponent, that just means the reciprocal of the positive exponent. So 1 over negative 2 to the third power, to the positive third power. And this is equal to 1 over negative 2 times negative 2 times negative 2. ... So this is equal to negative 1/8.

12 x 1/5= ? I got 12 1/5 is that correct?
coldgirl [10]
When you're multiplying any number times a fraction with a numerator of one, that number becomes the numerator. For example:

a x 1/b = a/b

So, in your case:

12 x 1/5 = 12/5

Petco makes a profit of $9 per bag on its line of natural cat food. If the store wants to make a profit of at least
Nata [24]

Answer:

x ≥ 767

The number of bags sold must be greater than or equal to 767 to make a minimum profit of $6900.

Step-by-step explanation:

If they want a profit of at least $6900, then the total amount earned would have to be ≥ 6900. You can always earn more than $6900, but the lowest should be equal to $6900.

So if we use x as the number of bags sold, and we know that each bag will earn $9, then x • 9 ≥ 6900.

If we divide both sides by 9, then the number of bags sold must be ≥ 767.

Veronika [31]

Answer:

9 cups

We can write a ratio to solve

5 cups                     x cups

------------            = ----------------

80 cookies            144 cookies

Using cross products

5 * 144 = 80x

720 = 80x

Divide by 80

720/80 = 80x/80

9=x
