When the bases are diffenrent and the exponents of a and b are the same, we can multiply a and b first:
a n ⋅ b n = (a ⋅ b) n
Example:
32 ⋅ 42 = (3⋅4)2 = 122 = 12⋅12 = 144
When the bases and the exponents are different we have to calculate each exponent and then multiply:
a n ⋅ b m
Example:
32 ⋅ 43 = 9 ⋅ 64 = 576
Answer:
91
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
8:3
16:6
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's check if 9 and 24 have any common factor. If they do have any common ones, we must find the GCF (greatest common factor).
Factors of 9: 1, 3, 9
Factors of 24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
The common factors both of the numbers share and 1 and 3. To find the GCF, simply compare one of the factors to the other.
1 < 3
Now that we know the GCF, we can divide the two numbers in the ratio 24 : 9 by it (3).
24:9
24/3:9/3
<u>8:3</u>
Now that our ratio is simplified, it's going to be much easier to find more ratios that are equivalent. <u>8:3</u> is already one equivalent ratio, but if we multiply each number in the ratio by any other number, we can get a new equivalent ratio. Let's multiply each number in the ratio by 2:
<u>8:3</u>
8 ⋅ 2:3 ⋅ 2
<u>16:6</u>
<u></u>
So, another equivalent ratio to 24:9 (and <u>8:3</u>) is <u>16:6</u>.
A. The equation to find the distance of the flowerbed from the hive is: 
, where x is the distance.
B. The flowerbed is 2250 feet far from the hive.
<u><em>Explanation</em></u>
Suppose, the distance of the flowerbed from the hive is 
feet.
The bee flies 20 feet per second directly to a flowerbed from its hive and flies directly back to the hive at 12 feet per second.
As, 
So, the time taken by the bee to reach the flowerbed 
seconds and the time taken to fly back to the hive 
seconds.
The bee stays at the flowerbed for 15 minutes or (15×60)seconds or 900 seconds and it is away from the hive for a total of 20 minutes or (20×60)seconds or 1200 seconds.
So, the equation will be.......
Thus, the distance of the flowerbed from the hive is 2250 feet.
