For the first 6, we see that it is exactly one place behind the decimal point, therefore meaning that it is in the tenths place. The second 6 is three places behind the decimal place making it in the thousandths place. The third and final 6 is one place in front of the decimal, therefore it is in the ones place. Hope this helps!

To multiply these numbers, the first step is to writhe "-8" as an improper fraction, to do so, divide it by 1

Next is to solve the multiplication, to do so, first multiply the first two terms of the multiplication:

The multiplication is between two negative numbers, when you multiply two negative numbers, the minus signs cancel each other and turn into a positive value, this is called "double-negative"

Next multiply the result by the third fraction -2/5
This time you are multiplying a positive and a negative number, so the result of the calculation will be negative

Final step is to simplify the result, both 144 and 15 are divisible by 3, so divide the numerator and denominator by 3 to simplify the result to the simplest form:
Answer:
$8.50
Step-by-step explanation:
let the price before tax be $x
given that the sales tax rate is 4%, hence the amount she paid in taxes
= 4% of x
= (4/100)x
= 0.04x
We can now build an equation for what she paid:
Amount Paid = price before tax + amount paid in taxes
8.84 = x + 0.04x
8.84 = 1.04x (divide both sides by 1.04 and rearranging)
x = 8.84 / 1.04
x = $8.50
Answer:
3^-9
Step-by-step explanation:
3^-4 • 3^-5
We know that a^b * a^c = a^(b+c)
3^-4 • 3^-5 = 3^(-4-5) = 3^ -9
