Remember
x^{ \frac{m}{n} }= \sqrt[n]{x^m}

so
x^{ \frac{1}{2} }= \sqrt[2]{x^1} or √x

Fractional exponents are also called radicals or rational exponents. To get rid of this type of exponents, we remember the law of exponents when we multiply them. For instance,
<span>
x^1/2
</span><span>
x^1/2 ( x^1/2 ) = x^(1/2+1/2) = x^(1) = x
</span><span>
Therefore, x^1/2, when 2 times in a multiplication gives x and so x^1/2 is the square root of x.</span><span>

Tyler used 1 1/2 gallons of paint to paint 5/7 of a fence. How many gallons will it take to paint the whole fence?
Mademuasel [1]

9514 1404 393

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  1) (1 1/2)(7/5) = g

  2) (1 1/2)/(5/7) = g

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Tyler has painted 5/7 of the 7/7 of the fence. So the total amount of the fence is (7/7)/(5/7) = 7/5 as much as what was already painted.

The total amount of paint needed is then 7/5 the amount already used:

  g = (7/5)(1 1/2) . . . . . gallons of paint needed for the whole fence

__

2) If g gallons are required for the whole fence, the amount used so far for 5/7 of the fence is 5/7 of the quantity required:

  (5/7)g = 1 1/2

  g = (1 1/2)/(5/7) . . . . division expression for the paint needed
