It would be written as a fraction to make the exponent negative put it over one : 1/7^4
Smallest number of cakes that each would have decorated is 18.
It looks like they're multiplied, then you can simply add the exponents,
b⁸ * b⁴ = b⁸⁺⁴ = b¹²
remember, b⁸=b*b*b*b*b*b*b*b and b⁴=b*b*b*b
so b⁸ * b⁴ = b*b*b*b*b*b*b*b * b*b*b*b = b¹²
First, subtract 7 on both sides. Now, you have 4x<1. Divide by 4 on both sides. Finally, you get x<1/4 (a quarter or said as one-fourth). So, x<1/4.
