They are adding 7 each time. The next would be 36+7 so it would be 43. :))
Answer:
We know that 2/6 * 48 = 16 books are fantasy and sci-fi. Of those, 16 * 3/8 = 6 books are sci-fi.
Answer:
there are 10 numbers so it would be 10% but there are 2 ones so 20%
Pretty sure the answer is 2
(ab)² and ab² are not equal. When you have something in parentheses being squared, you have to square everything inside, so in the case of (ab)², you have to "distribute" the ² to both variables inside. That gives you a²b², not just ab².
If the abstract way is kind of confusing for you, just pick two random numbers for a and b and plug them in to test it. Say a = 3 and b = 4. Then
(3*4)² = 3*4²
(12)² = 3*16
144 ≠ 48
