Im not sure on the syntax here, but i assume the question is (4/9)^-1

(4/9)^-1
= (4^-1)/(9^-1)

A negative power is an inverse of the positive power
i.e. x^-2 = 1/x^2
This is because if we have say x^3/x^5 we simplify it by cancelling x^3 which gives 1/x^2.
Another way to think of it is to subtract the power of the bottom x from the power of the top x: 3-5 = -2 so x^3/x^5 = x^-2.
I hope this explains how negitive powers are the inverse of the positive power.

So....
(4^-1)/(9^-1)
= 9/4
Because the inverse of 4 is 1/4 and the inverse of 1/9 is 9

17. You roll a number cube. How likely is it that you will roll a number less than 7? Explain

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

1 or 100%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of rolling less than 7 is equal to the probability of rolling 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6. That is 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 6/6. So any number from the dice can come up when you roll it because a perfect dice has 6 sides.

Which of the following ratios is equivalent to 49:35?

Arte-miy333 [17]

The best way to find it is to reduce each ratio you work with to its
lowest terms,and see which ones are equal. To reduce a ratio to its
lowest terms, divide each number by their greatest common factor.

First, the one that you're trying to match: 49:35 .
The greatest common factor of 49 and 35 is 7 .
Divide each number by 7 . . . 7:5 . . . that's what you have to match.

7:4
Their greatest common factor is ' 1 '.
No help at all, and this one is not it.

14:25
Again, their greatest common factor is '1 '.
No help at all, and this one is not it.

21:15
Their greatest common factor is ' 3 '.
Divide both numbers by 3 . . . 7:5 .
That's it !
