Hey there! I'm happy to help!

$a^-^2$ is the same thing as 1/a². So, $5^-^2$ is 1/25. This is multiplied by 3² which is 9, so this is 9/25.

In the denominator, we have $5^-^1$ , which is 1/5. We multiply this by 3, which is 3/5.

So, we divide 9/25 by 3/5, giving us 3/5.

Now, we raise this to the power of -2, so we flip the numerator and denominator and then square both numbers, giving us 25/9.

Have a wonderful day! :D

GCF - What is the highest number possible that the two given terms have in common.

In the given problem, one can clearly see that the two share $c^{2} and d$ .

The factors of 14 are 1, 2, 7 and 14 while the factors of 42 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21 and 42.
Out of the two, 14 is the highest number that they both share.

So our answer will be 14 $c^{2} d$

Twelve men take 6 hours to finish a piece of work. After the 12 men have worked for 1 hour, the contractor decides to call in 8

Twelve men take 6 hours to finish a piece of work.
In 1 hour, the 12 men will finish 1/6 of the work
( 1 job ) / ( 6 hrs ) = ( 1/6 of a job ) / ( 1 hr )
-----------------------------------------
That means there is of the job
left to do.
-------------------
If 12 men take 6 hours to finish a piece of work,
1 man will take 12 times as long, to finish the work, so
( 1 job ) / ( 6*12 = 72 hrs ) = rate of working for 1 man, or

-------------------
After 1 hour, there are a total of men working
20 men will work 20 times as fast as 1 man on the
of a job that remains, so
Let = hours for the 20 men to finish the job

vbox=, I assume we are dealing with l=w=h
so
v=lwh=12^3=1728

vsphere=(4/3)pir^3
r=3
vsphere=(4/3)pi3^3=4pi9=36pi
8 of them so
8 times 36pi=288pi or about 904.7786842338604526772412943845 cubic inches

The price of a gallon of milk increased from $5.50 to $7.50. Describe the price increase as a percent.

sweet [91]

Step-by-step explanation:

7.50= (1 + x/100 ) × 5.50

7.50/ 5.50 = 1+x/100

x/100 = 0.36

x= 36.36%
