<h3>The length of longer piece is 30 inches</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "x" be the length of longer piece

Let "y" be the length of shorter piece

<em><u>The length of a board is 55 inches</u></em>

Therefore,

x + y = 55 -------- eqn 1

<em><u>The board needs to be cut into 2 pieces with one piece 5 inches longer than the other piece</u></em>

Therefore,

x = 5 + y ------- eqn 2

Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1

5 + y + y = 55

2y = 55 - 5

2y = 50

<h3>y = 25</h3>

Substitute y = 25 in eqn 1

x + 25 = 55

x = 55 - 25

<h3>x = 30</h3>

Thus the length of longer piece is 30 inches

Which of the following is equal to the fraction below?
Vesna [10]

In mathematics there is a rule of exponents where we can "distribute" the powers/exponents in the numerator and denominator of any expression. Therefore, given an expression as (\frac{a}{b})^n, the exponent n can be "distributed" as: (\frac{a}{b})^n= \frac{a^n}{b^n}.

In our case, the power, n=11; a=7 and b=4. Thus, the expression (\frac{7}{4})^{11}, can be written as \frac{7^{11}}{4^{11}}.

Thus, out of the given options, option A is the correct option.
