If it is not contained in a fraction write it as one over the variable with a positive exponent
ex. 2^-1 = 1/2. 3^-2 = 1/3² = 1/9

if it is in the denominator of a fraction move it to the numerator and make it positive
ex. 1/4^-1 = 4. 2/3^-2 = 2*3² = 18

if it is in the numerator...you get the picture
ex 6^-2/3 = 1/3*6² = 1/108

hope that helps

The Murphy family bought two rectangular dog beds for their pets fluffys bed was 3 feet by 1 9/12 Pete's bed was 4 feet by 2 4/1
mario62 [17]

Answer:

4 1/12 sq. ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To know the amount of area that Pete’s bed have more than Fluffy’s bed, we simply calculate the area of both beds then subtract the smaller from the larger.

The area of Fluff’s bed would be 3 * 21/12 = 63/12 Sq ft

The area of Pete’s bed would be 4 * 28/12 = 112/12 sq ft

The difference in area is thus: 112/12 - 63/12 = 49/12 = 4 1/12 sq. ft
