Its false, standard notation would have an exponent.
12.) First find the rate of miles/hour that the Morales family drove: 312 miles/6 hours = 52 miles/hour. To find how far they travel in 8 hours, multiply that rate by 8. 52 x 8 = 416. If they drive for 8 hours, they will travel 416 miles.
Fractions are basically divisions.
Ex. 2/4 = 1/2
And whole numbers like 10, get greater when raised to an exponent.
Ex. 10^2 = 100
The answer is x=-9
Hope this helped:)
