Because 3^2 = 9
When you do (⅓)^2 what you are really doing is
(1^2)/(3^2) = 1/9
If you have (⅔)^2 you do
(2^2)/(3^2) = 4/9
Fractions get smaller because the denominator is also being squared which makes the denominator get bigger and when the denominator is bigger, you are dividing by a larger number which gives you a smaller answer. Whereas when you raise a whole number to an exponent, only the numerator get bigger because the denominator is 1 and 1 raised to any exponent is still 1
3^2 = (3^2)/(1^2) = 9/1 = 9
The value of x is 2. hope it helps!
Answer: 8
Explanation: first start with the fractions. 4 divided by a (which equals 4) is 1. B (which equals 3) divided by 3 is 1. Then put it all together 6+1+1=8.
101.28-96 = 5.28
5.28/96 = 0.055
0.055 x 100% = 5.5%
