Answer:
a) 1/27
b) 16
c) 1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 
One of the properties of the exponents tells us that when we have a negative exponent we can express it in terms of its positive exponent by turning it into the denominator (and changing its sign), so we would have:

And now, solving for x = 9 we have:

b) 
This is already a positive rational exponent so we are just going to substitute the value of y = 8 into the expression

c) 
Using the same property we used in a) we have:

And now, solving for z = 16 we have:

Try making a grid like this. Apologies for the terrible drawing and handwriting. It represents all possible results of rolling two dice and summing their values. The blue column and yellow row represent the values of each die, and the green numbers reptesent their sums.
First, you can see that there are 36 possible values. Second, it's easy to see how many results are greater than 9, since they're all in one corner. And last, you can see just how many are even and how many are odd. Remember to reduce your fractions in the end.
I think that it your answer is 12.4 but im not 100% sure

I solved this by a simple trial and error by inputing each answer into the equation.
27 is 2/3 of 40 1/2.
Do 27divided by 2/3 to get it
