Art [367]3 years ago

Answer:

There would be 350 girls in the school.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find this by creating two proportions. the first fraction would be the number of girls out in the sample:

7/12

The second part would be the amount of girls in the whole school. We can set the girls as x since we do not know.

x/600

Now we can set the two equal to each other and cross multiply.

7/12 = x/600

600*7 = 12*x

4200 = 12x

350 = x

Aaron bought 7/8 of a yard of fabric and it cost him $4.10. What does a full yard cost?
gayaneshka [121]
Divide 4.10 by 7 to get about 0.59 (round up because you can't get part of a penny) and that gives you 1/8 of a yard's price. Then multiply that by 8 to get a full yard for $4.72.

What is a true statement about negative exponents?
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Raising something to a negative exponent is just taking the reciprocal of the amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that you wanted to know what x^{-2} is.

To find it, you would take the reciprocal of the x amount. So x^{-2} becomes \frac{1}{x^{2}}.

This works because of the nature of exponents. Exponents represent the number of times you are multiplying a value by itself. So a^{3} would be equal to a · a · a. To increase the exponent, you increase the number of times the value is multiplied by itself: To increase a^{3} to a^{5}, you would have to multiply a with a^{3} two more times (a · a · a · a · a). To decrease the exponent, you must divide the value by itself. So to decrease a^{5} to a^{2}, you would have to divide a^{5} by a 3 times.

If the exponent is 0, the value is equal to 1. But you can still decrease the exponent into negative numbers. You just divide 1 by a the desired amount of times: \frac{1}{a^{3}} means that you are dividing 1 by a 3 times.

Hope this helps.
