Answer:a) 44hrs

b)5.5hrs

Step-by-step explanation

6 workers take 22hrs

a) if the workers decreased by factor of 2, number of workers =3. The time increases by factor of 2

Therefore, 3 workers take

22*2 = 44hrs

b) if the workers increased by factor of 4,

Number of workers = 6*4= 24

The time decreases by factor of 4

Therefore, 24 workers take

22/4= 5.5 hrs

Which expression is equivalent to [(3xy^-5)^3 / (x^-2y^2)^-4]^-2
True [87]
<span>The answer is (x</span>¹⁰<span>y</span>¹⁴<span>)/729.

Explanation:
We can begin simplifying inside the innermost parentheses using the properties of exponents. The power of a power property says when you raise a power to a power, you multiply the exponents. This gives us

[(3</span>³<span>x</span>³<span>y</span>⁻¹⁵<span>)/(x</span>⁸<span>y</span>⁻⁸<span>)]</span>⁻²<span>.

Negative exponents tell us to "flip" sides of the fraction, so within the parentheses we have
[(3</span>³<span>x</span>³<span>y</span>⁸<span>)/(x</span>⁸<span>y</span>¹⁵<span>)]</span>⁻²<span>.

Using the quotient property, we subtract exponents when dividing powers, which gives us
(3</span>³<span>/x</span>⁵<span>y</span>⁷<span>)</span>⁻²<span>.

Evaluating 3</span>³<span>, we have
(27/x</span>⁵<span>y</span>⁷<span>)</span>⁻²<span>.

Using the power of a power property again, we have
27</span>⁻²<span>/x</span>⁻¹⁰<span>y</span>⁻¹⁴<span>.

Flipping the negative exponents again gives us x</span>¹⁰<span>y</span>¹⁴<span>/729.</span>
