Answer: 7

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given that Bill bought 38 1/2 feet of wire. Convert the mixed fraction into improper fraction.

The length L1 = 77/2

You are given that he cut the wire into several pieces, each one measuring 5 1/2 feet. Convert it too to improper fraction.

The length L2 = 11/2

To know how many number of pieces of wire he have after making the cuts, divide length L1 by length L2. That is,

L1/L2 = 77/2 ÷ 11/2

Change the division to multiplication by reciprocating 11/2 to 2/11

77/2 × 2/11 = 77/11 = 7

Therefore, he had 7 pieces of wires after making the cuts.

Write 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 with an exponent.<br> 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 =
lakkis [162]

Answer:

10^5

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponents are basically just saying how many times the number is multiplied by itself.

In the expression 10\cdot10\cdot10\cdot10\cdot10, we can see that 10 is being multiplied by itself 5 times.

So the exponent becomes 5, and the base is 10.

10^5.

Hope this helped!
