Start by distributing the exponent to each of the terms in 
. This will become 
, and 
. Now, the expression is:
.
We can now simplify the bottom to read: 
because when multiplying variables raised to an exponent, we add the exponents. The expression now looks like:
The 2/8 simplifies to 1/4:
Now, we have two u terms on the top and bottom. When dividing variables raised to an exponent, we subtract the exponents. However, since 3-5=-2, the term will be on the bottom to avoid the negative exponent. The final answer is:
Hope this makes sense!!
The width is five feet and the length is seven feet.
Length should be 2/5yd:
18inch*1yd/36inch=.5yd=> depth
volume= 2(length*width+lenght*depth+depth*width)
let l to be the length.
volume= 2(l*2+2(.5)+.5*2)
volume=5l+2
4=5l+2
2=5l
l=2/5
The answer for this question is
: 125
Hope this helps
