3/7 = 240/x....3 non-fiction to 7 fiction = 240 non fiction to x fiction
cross multiply
(3)(x) = (240)(7)
3x = 1680
x = 1680/3
x = 560

so we have 240 non-fiction books and 560 fiction books...for a total of
(240 + 560) = 800 books <==

charle [14.2K]

Add the exponents and keep the same base. Then reciprocal it and change the sign of the exponent. Then the value of the exponent expression is 0.5.

<h3>What is an exponent?</h3>

Exponential notation is the form of mathematical shorthand which allows us to write complicated expressions more succinctly. An exponent is a number or letter is called the base. It indicates that the base is to raise to a certain power. X is the base and n is the power.

The exponent expression is 2³ × 2⁻⁴ can be simplified.

Add the exponents and keep the same base. Then we have

2³ × 2⁻⁴  = 2⁽³⁻⁴⁾

2³ × 2⁻⁴  = 2⁻¹

Then find the reciprocal and change the sign of the exponent.

2^3* 2^{-4} = 2^{-1}\\\\2^3* 2^{-4} = \dfrac{1}{2}\\\\2^3* 2^{-4} = 0.5

The value is 0.5.

More about the exponent link is given below.
