Answer: 1 Kilogram.

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the weight of one box is 5^{-2} kilograms.

You also know that Micheal has 5^2 boxes.

If you want to know the total weight of Micheal's boxes when empty, you need to multiply the weight of one box by the total number of boxes that Micheal has.

You need to remember the Product of powers property:

(a^m)(a^n)=a^{(m+n)}

Then:

Total\ weight=(5^{-2}\ Kg)(5^2\ Kg)\\\\Total\ weight=5^{(-2+2)}\ Kg\\\\Total\ weight=5^0\ Kg

Remember that:

a^0=1

Then, the result is:

Total\ weight=1\ Kg

poizon [28]

The weight of each pie will be 6 and 8 pounds respectively if the ratio of the seeds in these piles 3:4

<h3>What is the ratio?</h3>

It is described as the comparison of two quantities to determine how many times one obtains the other. The proportion can be expressed as a fraction or as a sign: between two integers.

We have:

A greedy hamster hoarded 2 piles of sunflower seeds. Yesterday the ratio of the seeds in these piles was 3:4

Let 3x and 4x are the seeds from the smaller and bigger pile.

= 4x + 2  (greedy hamster placed another 2 pounds of seeds in the bigger pile)

= 3x - 1/4 (ate 1/4 pound from the smaller pile)

4x + 2 = 5x

Because the quantities of seeds in those piles is in the ratio of 5:16

After solving:

x = 2

Smaller pile weight = 3x = 3(2) = 6

Bigger pile wieght = 4x = 4(2) = 8

Thus, the weight of each pie will be 6 and 8 pounds respectively if the ratio of the seeds in these piles 3:4
