P^-4 x -5p

In properties of exponents, if the exponent is negative then you move the variable with the negative exponent to the denominators place and it changes to positive and the numerator becomes 1.

p^-4=1/(p^4)

Also, if no exponent is present it is understood to be 1.

Keeping this in mind,
p^-4 x -5p
1/(p^4) x -5p^1            substituted p^-4 by 1/p^4 and added ^1 to -5p
-5p^1/p^4                     multiplied-5p^1 to 1 
-5/p^3                          simplified

1) What is 20% of 20?<br> 2) what is 15 is what percent of 30?<br> 3) 50 is 50% of what?
N76 [4]

Hi there!

The word "of" is the same thing as a multiplication sign.

1)

20% = 0.2

0.2 × 20 = 4


2)

? × 30 = 15

divide each side of the equation by 30

? = 0.5

0.5 = 50%


3)

50% = 0.5

0.5 × ? = 50

divide each side of the equation by 0.5

? = 100


There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

5 8/25 as a decimal show work
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Split the number into the whole number component and fraction component.

5 8/25= 5+8/25.

For the denominator, recognize that

25×4=100.

Multiple =4.

Multiply the numerator and the denominator by the multiple 4.

8×4/ 25×4.

Simplify.

32/100=0.32

Combine the whole number component with the decimal.

5+0.32=5.32

The measure of the supplement of an angle is 20° more than three times the measure of the original angle. find the measures of t
viva [34]

If the original angle is x degrees then its supplement is 180 - x degrees.

we have the equation:-

180 - x = 3x + 20

160 = 4x

x = 40

The original angle is 40 degrees and its supplement is 140 degrees
