So tis is a ratio 16 is to 3 or 16:3
if use 64 tea bags then how many cups of sugar so
turn 16:3 into fraction
16:3=16/3 or 3/16, it doesn't matter
then you want to find 64:x or 64/x or x/64
we know that 16/3=64/x because it tis an equivalent ratio
so 16/3=64/x
multiply both sdies by (3 times x)
16 times x times 3/3=64 times 3 times x/x
16 times x=64 times 3
16x=192
divide both sdies by 16
x=12
theanswer is 12 cups of sugar
"<span>5 to the negative 4th power over 5 to the 3rd</span>" translates to
5⁻⁴ / 5³
So you can just combine exponents.
5⁻⁴ / 5³ = 5⁻⁴ ⁻ ³ = 5⁻⁷ = 1/5⁷
Final answer: 1/5⁷
