Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Set this up as a proportion, with inches on the top and feet on the bottom for our scale. We will find the actual length first, then we'll find the width.
Cross multiply to get that the actual length is 5(2.5) = 12.5 feet. Now for the width:
Cross multiply to get that the actual width is 5(3) = 15 feet.
If you want the area of the room, multiply the length times the width to get
A = 15(12.5)
A = 187.5 feet squared

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
There are exponent rules I posted above that are being used here.
We have (3^-6)^-5
Since we have a power times a power, we multiply 6 and 5 to get -30. Look at the first example in the photo.
So, we're left with 3^-30.
If you look at the photo, there's a rule for negative exponents.
Take the inverse of the base number, so 3 in this case:
1 / 3
and then make the exponent positive after taking the inverse.
So, we should get 1 / 3^30
Hope this helps!
