In the division rule you subtract the exponents<span> when </span>dividing<span> numbers with the same base. </span>One<span> rule for exponents is that exponents add when you have the same base. This works for any number x that you want to plug in except for x = </span>0<span>,because </span>0/0<span> is indeterminate (it is like dividing </span>zero<span> by </span>zero<span>). No matter what number we use when it is raised to the </span>zero power<span> it will always be </span>1.
Length (L): 2w + 6
width (w): w
Perimeter (P) = 2L + 2w
240 = 2(2w + 6) + 2(w)
240 = 4w + 12 + 2w
240 = 6w + 12
228 = 6w
38 = w
Length (L): 2w + 6 = 2(38) + 6 = 76 + 6 = 82
Answer: width = 38 ft, length = 82 ft
Well you need first 1 2/4 of a yard. Then you will need 5/6 of a yard. But first you need to put them together. So we need to find the common denominator. Six and four both share which multiple? Twelve. So let's rewrite that. You need 1 6/12 yards + 10/12 yards of wrapping paper. But before we do anything else we need to fix the mixed number. 1 6/12 isn't as easy to add ad 18/12 is. So 18/12 + 10/12 = 28/12
That can simplify as well. Now it's 14/6 which is equivalent to the fraction we had before. But it can also go down to 2 2/6. Now we can simplify it even further. By dividing it by two we can get 2 1/3. These are the measurements we need. So you would need how many thirds? Seven. (2 1/3 is seven thirds) This is your final answer.
You would need to have seven peices of wrapping paper cut to wrap both gift boxes.
