22 complete cars and half of one car were washed on Sunday.

<u>Solution: </u>

Given that

Drama club held a car wash on Saturday and Sunday.

Total car washed on Saturday and Sunday = 60

Lost $40 \%$ can on Sunday.

Need to calculate number of car washed on Sunday.

Let assume number of cars they washed on Saturday = x

As they lost $40\%$ of cars on the Sunday

Number of cars washed on Sunday = Car washed on Saturday – $40\%$ of car washed on Saturday

$\Rightarrow x-40 \% \text { of } x=\mathrm{x}-0.40 x=0.60 x$

Total number of cars washed on Saturday and Sunday = Number of cars washed on Saturday + Number of cars washed on Sunday

$\begin{array}{l}{\Rightarrow 60=x+0.60 x} \\\\ {\Rightarrow 60=1.6 x} \\\\ {\Rightarrow x=\frac{60}{1.6}=37.5}\end{array}$

So car washed on Sunday = $0.60 x=0.60 \times 37.5=22.5 \mathrm{ cars}$

That is 22 complete cars and half of one car were washed on Sunday.

How do you simplify expressions with rational exponents

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify expression with rational exponents can look like a huge thing when you first see them with those fractions sitting up there in the exponent but let's remember our properties for dealing with exponents. We can apply those with fractions as well.

Examples

(a) $(p^4)^{\dfrac{3}{2}}$

From above, we have a power to a power, so, we can think of multiplying the exponents.

i.e.

$(p^{^ {\dfrac{4}{1}}})^{\dfrac{3}{2}}$

$(p^{^ {\dfrac{12}{2}}})$

Let's recall that when we are dealing with exponents that are fractions, we can simplify them just like normal fractions.

SO;

$(p^{^ {\dfrac{12}{2}}})$

$= (p^{ 6})$

Let's take a look at another example

$\Bigg (27x^{^\Big{6}} \Bigg) ^{{\dfrac{5}{3}}}$

Here, we apply the $\dfrac{5}{3}$ to both 27 and $x^6$

$= \Bigg (27^{{\dfrac{5}{3}}} \times x^\Big{\dfrac{6}{1}\times {{\dfrac{5}{3}}} }\Bigg)$

$= \Bigg (27^{{\dfrac{5}{3}}} \times x^\Big{\dfrac{2}{1}\times {{\dfrac{5}{1}}} }\Bigg)$

Let us recall that in the rational exponent, the denominator is the root and the numerator is the exponent of such a particular number.

∴

$= \Bigg (\sqrt[3]{27}^{5} \times x^{10} }\Bigg)$

$= \Bigg (3^{5} \times x^{10} }\Bigg)$

$= 249x^{10}$

How do you write 12,430,000 in expanded form

const2013 [10]

we know that

$12,430,000$ in expanded form is equal to

$12,430,000=1*(10,000,000)+2*(1,000,000)+4*(100,000)+3*(10,000)\\\\ 12,430,000=(10,000,000)+(2,000,000)+(400,000)+(30,000)$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

$(10,000,000)+(2,000,000)+(400,000)+(30,000)$

I need help please.

Answer:

0.167, 0.164, 0.16

Step-by-step explanation:

In decimals, the closer it is to 1 the larger it gets. 0.167 is smaller than 0.164 because 0.164 is closer to one, which makes it greater.
