<span>So we need to see how does the decimal point change it's place in the quotient when we divide any number by increasing powers of 10. Lets start with number 1. The decimal point is: 1.0 and when we divide by 10^1=10 we get 1/10=0.1. The decimal point has moved one place to the left. Now lets divide 1 by 10^2 and we get 1/100=0.01. Again, the decimal point has moved one more place to the left. Now: 1/10^3 = 1/1000 = 0.001. Next would be 0.0001, next one would be 0.00001 and so on. </span>

I don’t know what to do on here it’s really hard and I need help for the answer
Alla [95]
Ok so our original fraction is:
\frac{36 {x}^{12} }{6 {x}^{9} }
To simplify this fraction, look for instances where the values on the top and bottom can be reduced:

For example, 36 over 6 is the same as 6 over 1, so we can simplify the fraction so it is:
\frac{6 {x}^{12} }{ {x}^{9} }
We can also eliminate the denominator by dividing the nominator by x^9 so:
\frac{6 {x}^{12} }{ {x}^{9} }  \div  \frac{ {x}^{9} }{ {x}^{9} }
= 6 {x}^{3}
And that is the simplified answer of the fraction

Hope this helped

7. On Thursday, Kim purchased a medium iced caramel latte and a blueberry muffin for $5.18. Then, on Friday, Kim
sashaice [31]

Answer:

Cost of medium iced caramel latte = $3.59

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume;

Cost of medium iced caramel latte = x

Cost of blueberry muffin = y

So,

On Thursday

x + y = 5.18......eq1

On Friday

2x + 3y = 11.95.....eq2

Eq1 × 3

3x + 3y = 15.54......eq3

eq3 - eq2

x = 3.59

Cost of medium iced caramel latte = $3.59
