The dog ate $10\frac{2}{3}$ pounds of food

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Quantity of food = q = 16 pounds

Portion eaten by dog = p = 2/3

So,

The total pounds of food eaten by dog are:

$Pounds\ eaten\ by\ dog = p*q\\= \frac{2}{3} * 16\\= \frac{32}{3}\\= 10\frac{2}{3}$

Hence,

The dog ate $10\frac{2}{3}$ pounds of food

Which is equivalent to x^3 y^-7

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

For this case we must find an expression equivalent to:

$x ^ 3 * y ^ {- 7}$

By definition of power properties we have to meet:

$a ^ {-1} = \frac {1} {a ^ 1} = \frac {1} {a}$

Then, we can rewrite the expression as:

$x ^ 3 * \frac {1} {y ^ 7} =\\\frac {x ^ 3} {y ^ 7}$

Answer:

$\frac {x ^ 3} {y ^ 7}$

Jasmine has only $46.50 to spend at forever 21. She wants to buy a shirt that costs $19, including tax, and some bracelets that

ivanzaharov [21]

46.50 - 19 = 5.50x

We get the 46.50 from her budget and the 19 from the shirt she wants to buy. If we subtract 19 from 46.50, we'll get the amount of money Jasmine can spend on bracelets.

46.50 - 19 = 27.50

She has $27.50 to spend on bracelets. Now, we divide that by 5.50 (the price of a bracelet) to see how many she can buy.

27.50 ÷ 5.50 = 5

Jasmine can buy 5 bracelets.

Hope this helps!
