First, let's deal with the fraction in the denominator of the exponent. Multiply the top and bottom of the exponent by 6.
Now that the fraction in the denominator is taken care of, we can reduce the denominator.
. Some professors might accept this as simplest form, but others might ask you to get rid of the negative.
Answer:
Therefore the number of brown shells in each necklace was = 2 brown shells.
Step-by-step explanation:
If Julie made identical necklaces then we can say that number of each different colored shells were equally distributed among the necklaces.
So we can say that to find the number of necklaces we have to find the GCD (greatest common denominator) of the different colored shells.
Therefore the GCD of 10, 15 and 20 is 5.
Therefore Julia made 5 necklaces.
Therefore the number of brown shells in each necklace was = = 2 shells.
