Every child was given a orange cut into 8/8 pieces, Each child ate 5/8 pieces leaving 3/8 pieces each. How many kids were in their family. So each kid has 3/8 so you would add up 3/8 + 3/8 until you get a whole number of three. Or you can multiply the 3/8 by 8 or 8/1 (same thing) and get 24/8 slices which would simplify down to 3 full oranges, so there would be 8 kids because 8 x 3 = 24.

What is (4ab^0c^9)^3 ?​
fomenos

Answer:

  64a³c²⁷

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression inside parentheses can be simplified by noting that b^0 = 1. Then you have ...

  (4ac^9)^3

The rules of exponents say the exponent outside applies to each of the inside factors. For c^9, the exponents multiply.

Here are the applicable rules:

  (ab)^c = (a^c)(b^c)

  (a^b)^c = a^(b·c)

__

  (4ac^9)^3 = 4^3·a^3·c^(9·3) = 64a^3c^27
