Let x be the unknown number. One fifth of this number is x/5, one fourth of this number is x/4. So, we have

\dfrac{x}{4}-\dfrac{x}{5} = \dfrac{5x-4x}{20} = \dfrac{x}{20}

We know that this difference equals 9, so we have

\dfrac{x}{20}=9

Multiply both sides by 20 to get

x=180

A negative number raised to an odd power is _____ negative.
BartSMP [9]
Answer – Always
 A negative number raised to an odd power is always negative. When a negative number is raised to an even power, the pairs of negatives will cancel out; but when it is raised to an odd power, after pairs of the negative sign have canceled each other out, there will still be one minus sign left unpaired, which will not cancel out. <span>

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

D:  8,100π in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for area of a circle is

A = πr²

The radius is squared, so if the radius or a new circle is 6 times larger (multiplied by 6), the difference in area will be 36 times greater.  So the area is

225π(36) = 8,100π
