When dividing these, the powers are subtracted form each other.
We could split up the fraction into r's, s's, and t's.
r^-3 / r^2 = r^-5 [think of it as -3 -2]
s^5 / s = s^4
t^2 / t^-2 = t^4 [2 - - 2 = 4]
A negative power places it on the bottom of the fraction and the minus sign is removed from the power.
So the answer is A: (s^4)(t^4)/r^5
Answer
Because the function says 1.045 means 1+0.045
0.045=4.5%
So your answer is
4.50%
Answer:
Student B is correct
Student A failed to distribute -4 and -6 when opening the brackets in the first step
Step-by-step explanation:
The solution Student A gave was:
2x - 4(3x + 6) = -6(2x + 1) - 4
2x - 12x + 6 = -12x + 1 - 4
-10x + 6 = -12x - 3
2x = -9
x = -4 _1 2 ( -4 1/2)
The solution Student B gave was:
2x - 4(3x + 6) = -6(2x + 1) - 4
2x - 12x - 24 = -12x - 6 - 4
-10x - 24 = -12x - 10
2x = 14
x = 7
Student B is correct.
Explanation of the error:
Student A failed to distribute -4 and -6 when opening the brackets in the first step.
That is,
2x - 4(3x + 6) = -6(2x + 1) - 4
To open this bracket, we will distribute, -4 and -6 so that we get
2x (-4 × 3x) + (-4 × +6) = (-6×2x) + (-6 × +1) - 4
Then we will get
2x -12x -24 = -12x -6 -4
Adding the like terms
-10x - 24 = -12x - 10
Collecting like terms
-10x + 12x = -10 + 24
∴ 2x = 14
x = 14 / 2
Hence,
x = 7
8 shakers will fit becuase 4 shakers equal 5 ounces and you multiply it by two and you get 10
