1 answer:
dimaraw [331]4 years ago

Answer:

126 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, ratio of people who preferred tea to those who preferred coffee = 9:5

Let number of people who preferred coffee = x

Number of people who preferred tea = x + 36

Total number of people in survey = x + (x+36)

Ratio of people who preferred tea to those who preferred coffee = (x + 36)/x = 9/5

Cross multiply to solve for x

5(x + 36) = x(9)

5x + 180 = 9x

Subtract 5x from both sides

180 = 9x - 5x

180 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4

180/4 = x

45 = x

x = 45

<em>Number of people who preferred coffee = x = 45</em>

<em>Number of people who preferred tea = x + 36 = 45 + 36 = 81</em>

<em>Total number of people in the survey = x + (x + 36) = 45 + 81 = 126 people</em>

What is 1/64 to the second power as a negative exponent? help please!
masya89 [10]
8^2 = 64 since 8*8 = 64
Squaring a number is the same as multiplying it by itself. 

Since 8^2 = 64, this means
1/64 = 1/(8^2) = 8^(-2)

So, 1/64 = 8^(-2)
where the exponent is negative 2
