Answer:

To divide exponents (or powers) with the same base, subtract the exponents. Division is the opposite of multiplication, so it makes sense that because you add exponents when multiplying numbers with the same base, you subtract the exponents when dividing numbers with the same base.Quotient Rule: , this says that to divide two exponents with the same base, you keep the base and subtract the powers. This is similar to reducing fractions; when you subtract the powers put the answer in the numerator or denominator depending on where the higher power was located.

39 is 312% of 12.5

To find this you just divide 12.5 into 39 which gives you 3.12. To change that to a percentage you multiply by 100 which gives you 312%

7.5 is 102% of 7.38

To find this you just divide 7.38 into 7.5 which gives you 1.0162, which I rounded to 1.02. To change that to a percentage you multiply by 100 which gives you 102%

I hope this helped! :)
