Answer:

Reciprocal

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Usually when<em> dividing two fractions, you flip the second fraction, put the top number on bottom and the bottom number on top, than you would multiply through.</em></h3>

Step 1: Flip the divisor into a reciprocal Step 2: Change the division sign to a multiplication symbol and multiply Step 3: Simplify your answer if possible. Example: ⁷⁄₆ ÷ ¾ = ? →⁷⁄₆ × ⁴⁄₃ = ²⁸⁄₁₈ → ¹⁴⁄₉ → 1 ⁵⁄₉

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

Three places to the left

Step-by-step explanation:

It would be moved to the left because 407.26 is being divided by 1000, not multiplied. It would be 3 because there are three zeroes in 1000.

Which expression is equivalent to 6–3?

Bond [772]

Your question is not well presented. See complete question below

Which expression is equivalent to $6^{-3}$ ?

A) –63

B) 36

C) $\sqrt[3]{6}$

D) $(\frac{1}{6} )^3$

Answer:

The equivalent of $6^{-3$ is $(\frac{1}{6} )^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Expression: $6^{-3}$

Required:

Find the Equivalent Expression

To find the equivalent of this expression, we make use of law of indices.

One of the laws of indices states that

$a^-b = \frac{1}{a^b}$

If we apply this law to the expression above ( $6^{-3}$ )

By comparison a = 6 and b = 3.

So, $6^{-3}$ becomes

$6^{-3}$ = $\frac{1}{6^3}$

Simplifying further;

$\frac{1}{6^3}$ = $\frac{1}{6 * 6 * 6}$

This can also be written as

$\frac{1}{6^3}$ = $\frac{1*1*1}{6 * 6 * 6}$

By splitting the above expression; we have that

$\frac{1}{6^3}$ = $\frac{1}{6} * \frac{1}{6} * \frac{1}{6}$

Multiplication law of indices states that;

a * a * a = a³. (Because they have the same base of a)

So, $\frac{1}{6} * \frac{1}{6} * \frac{1}{6}$ can then be written as $(\frac{1}{6} )^3$

Hence, $\frac{1}{6^3}$ = $(\frac{1}{6} )^3$

So, the equivalent of $6^{-3}$ is $(\frac{1}{6} )^3$

Nelson used 35% of his savings account for his class trip in may. If he used 140 from his savings account while on his class tri

Iteru [2.4K]

Ok, so I’m guessing that 35% is $140 and that the question is asking to find the total at first.
Basically,
35% -> $140
So we’re gonna find 100%
1%->140 divide by 35 which is 4
100%-> 4 x 100= $400
And that should be your answer:)
