9^2/9^7
when dividing powers, we subtract the exponents
9^(2-7)
9^ (-5)
a negative exponent flips from the numerator to the denominator
1/ 9^5
Choice D
hmmm units rates are just a matter of one above the other.
in this case is points/week.
9/15 points/weeks, we can just divide 9 ÷ 15 = 0.6, or 3/5.
so 0.6 points/weeks.
DUse logical reasoning. Combine the totals for cars painted in the first two years (5,000 + 7,213). Subtract 8,201 (cars painted in the third year) from the sum to get the answer.
You can express it as 24 / (8-2)
