11 hours bc 5 times 11 equals 55
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
When simplifying an exponent a way to do is to expand the exponent. This means that it will now be

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 
Answer:
a) 1/27
b) 16
c) 1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 
One of the properties of the exponents tells us that when we have a negative exponent we can express it in terms of its positive exponent by turning it into the denominator (and changing its sign), so we would have:

And now, solving for x = 9 we have:

b) 
This is already a positive rational exponent so we are just going to substitute the value of y = 8 into the expression

c) 
Using the same property we used in a) we have:

And now, solving for z = 16 we have:
