The laptop costs more.

What the estimated written answer would look like:

The laptops cost more. The unit price per laptop is $146.33, whereas the unit price per printer is $18.13. I divided the total price by the number of items to get my unit prices.

The unit price per printer would be $18.13.

145/8 = 18.3

The unit price per laptop would be $146.33.

439/3 = 146.3

There is 1/4 ounce of yeast in every 2 1/4 teaspoon of yeast. A recipe calls for 2 teaspoons of yeast. How many ounces of yeast

MrRissso [65]

1/4 ounce of yeast ... 2 1/4 teaspoons of yeast
x ounce of yeast = ? ... 2 teaspoons of yeast

If you would like to know how many ounces of yeast need to be in the recipe, you can calculate this using the following steps:

1/4 * 2 = x * 2 1/4
1/2 = x * 9/4 /*4/9
x = 1/2 * 4/9
x = 2/9

Result: 2/9 ounce of yeast needs to be in this recipe.

Answer:

1. A. 1

2. D. $17^9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Properties used:

Power of a Power Property
Product Property
Quotient Property
Zero Exponent Property

1. First, let's deal with the numerator.

$(17^3)^6$ can be turned into $17^1^8$ by using the Power of a Power Property.

And then use the Product Property, $(17^1^8)(17^-^1^0) = 17^8$

So now, our fraction is this: $\frac{17^8}{17^8}$

All number over itself in a fraction is equal to 1. But you can also do this the mathmatic way using the Quotient Property: $\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^m^-^n$ or $\frac{1}{a^(^n^-^m^)}$ . Which then you plug the numbers in: $\frac{17^8}{17^8} = 17^8^-^8 = 17^0$ . And since we know that in Zero Exponent Property: $a^0 = 1$ , we can see that $17^0 = 1$ . So either way, we get 1.
