Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a system of equations. The 2 equations are:

4c + 2p = 16

2c + 3p = 12

Let's get rid of the p's first. Do this by multiplying the first equation by -3 and the second equation by 2 to get a new system that looks like this:

-12x - 6p = -48

4c + 6p = 24

Now add to get

-8c = -24 and

c = 3

That means that chocolate is $3 per pound. Now sub that back in to either one of the original equations to get the price for peanuts:

4(3) + 2p = 16 and

12 + 2p = 16 and

2p = 4 so

p = 2

The price for peanuts is $2 per pound.

Describe how you can tell that a fraction is reapeating and not terminating

GREYUIT [131]

First, reduce the fraction to lowest terms, e.g. 8/6 = 4/3.

Look at the denominator. Split it into its prime factors. If its prime factors only consist of 2's and 5's, then it will be terminating.

Examples:
16 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2, so terminating
25 = 5 x 5, so terminating
2000 = 2 x 1000 = 2 x (2 x 5) x (2 x 5) x (2 x 5), so terminating
12 = 2 x 3, so repeating (has prime factor 3, which is not 2 or 5)
13 = 13, so repeating (has prime factor 13, which is not 2 or 5) Hope this helps!!

Answer:

4^4·6^5·7^7 = 1,639,390,814,208

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking the cube root multiplies each exponent by 1/3.

((4^12)(6^15)(7^21))^(1/3) = (4^(12/3))·(6^(15/3))·(7^(21/3)) = (4^4)(6^5)(7^7)
