The factors of 48 are:
1 x 48
2 x 24
3 x 16
4 x 12
6 x 8
and visa versa: 48 x 1 etc.

To make the product negative, one of the factors has to be positive and one has to be negative. To find the greatest sum, make the bigger number the positive factor and the smaller number the negative factor. So, -1 x 48 = -48 and the sum of -1 + 48 = 47 which would be the greatest possible sum.

Ansley is inviting her friends to a party at wonder world amusement park. She has to spend more than $500 to get a free park pas

Harman [31]

Ansley should invite a minimum of 15 guests.

$500 - $130 = $470 / 25 = 14.8 but she needs to be over the amount so
15 guests is the answer

I hope this helps :)

What is the value of 3 to the power 2 over 3 to the power 4? A. 1 over 81 B. 1 over 27 C. 1 over 9 D. 1 over 3

rodikova [14]

One way you could solve this is to just multiply the top and bottom out so that you get 9/81, reducing it by 9/9 to get 1/9 or option C.
Another way would be to do $3^{(2-4)}$ since dividing numbers with exponents would be subtracting the bottom exponent from the top exponent, provided that the base number (in this case 3) is the same for both. For this method, you would get $3^{-2}$ , which is equal to 1/9 or .1 repeating, the same answer that you'd get with the first method.
