Answer: choice a.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 feet = 12 inches.

Sears tower = 1450 * 12 = 17400 inches.

Now,

48 : 17400

= 2 : 725

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

$9.00

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 12 = 48 - First, subtract 12 from each side of the equation.

4x = 36 - Then, divide each side by 4 to get x by itself.

x = 9 - After dividing by 4, we are left with x = 9, so 1 ticket costs

This is really confusing me:<br> Simplify so that your answers contain only positive exponents.

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

For simplifying expressions of this sort, there are four rules of exponents that come into play;

$a^ba^c=a^{b+c}\\\\(ab)^c=a^cb^c\\\\(a^b)^c=a^{bc}\\\\\dfrac{1}{a^b}=a^{-b}\ \quad\text{which means}\quad a^b=\dfrac{1}{a^{-b}}$

I find it convenient to eliminate the fractions by adding the exponents, then rewrite any negative exponents as denominator factors.

$23. \quad\dfrac{1}{x^{-2}}=x^2\\\\24. \quad\dfrac{mn}{m^2n^3}=m^{1-2}n^{1-3}=m^{-1}n^{-2}=\dfrac{1}{mn^2}\\\\25. \quad\dfrac{k^{-2}}{k^{-3}}=k^{-2-(-3)}=k\\\\26. \quad\left(\dfrac{m^2}{n^3}\right)^3=\dfrac{m^{2\cdot 3}}{n^{3\cdot 3}}=\dfrac{m^6}{n^9}\\\\27. \quad\dfrac{x^2y^3z^4}{x^{-3}y^{-4}z^{-5}}=x^{2-(-3)}y^{3-(-4)}z^{4-(-5)}=x^5y^7z^9$
