Answer:

$-\dfrac{4a^{12}b^8}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable rules of exponents are ...

$\dfrac{1}{a^{-b}}=a^b\\\\a^ba^c=a^{b+c}$

Your ratio simplifies to ...

$\dfrac{-8a^8b^{-2}}{10a^{-4}b^{-10}}=-\dfrac{4}{5}a^{8-(-4)}b^{-2-(-10)}\\\\=-\dfrac{4a^{12}b^8}{5}$

_____

Please note that simplifying the constants, -8/10 to -4/5, eliminates half the answer choices. Since exponents are only multiplied when a power is raised to a power, you can pretty much eliminate the second choice as being unreasonable. ((a^b)^c = a^(bc))

Simplify x^3 y^3 / x^3 y^3

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{y}$

Step-by-step explanation:

When simplifying an exponent a way to do is to expand the exponent. This means that it will now be

$\frac{x*x*x*y*y*y}{x*x*x*y*y}$

Whenever you see an x or y on the numerator and denominator cross it out because it is the same thing as 1

When you cross out all of the x's and y's the only variable left is y in the denominator. This means that the answer is $\frac{1}{y}$

help please !!!Kevin wants to make a mixture that is 50% lemon juice and 50% lime juice. How much 100% lemon juice should he add

Liula [17]

So basically, he wants to make mixture where lemon=lime

it is 6 gallons so
40% of 6=0.4 times 60=2.4=lemon
60% of 6=0.6 times 60=3.6=lime
so to make them equal
3.6-2.4=1.2
he must add 1.2 gallons of 100% lemon juice to make a mixture of 50% lemon and 50% lime

1.2 gallons is the answer
