1/27

125

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

a - b = 3

9^(1/2b) /3^a = 3^(2/2b) /3^a

= 3^b/3^a

= 3^(b-a)

= 3^(-3)

= 27^(-1)

= 1/27

27^(1/3b) /9^(1/2a) = 3^(3/3b) /3^(2/2a)

= 3^b/3^a

= 3^(b-a)

= 3^(-3)

= 27^(-1)

= 1/27

125^(1/3a) /25^(1/2b) = 5^(3/3a) /5^(2/2b)

= 5^a/5^b

= 5^(a- b)

= 5^3

= 125

(2^3)^7 (2^-9)^2 how do i put that in exponential form

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

2³ = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the laws of exponents, when raising a power to another power, you need to multiply the exponents. After you multiply each set of exponents by the additional power, then it become a multiplication problem where the base is the same. When multiplying exponents with the same base, you keep the base and add the exponents:

$(2^{3})^{7}*(2^{-9})^{2}=2^{21}*2^{-18}=2^{21+-18}=2^{3}$

You discover that you are over serving a dish because customers keep taking a third of it home. If the dish requires 4 ingredien

devlian [24]

Answer:

4 parts

Step-by-step explanation:

If the total number of parts is 12 and you want to reduce the dish to two-thirds its current size, the number of parts that will be reduced is (1 - 2/3) = 1/3

To reduce 1/3 of the 12 parts, you need to multiply 12 by 1/3 to know how many parts is that:

12 * 1/3 = 12/3 = 4

You need to subtract 4 parts. If you have 4 ingredients, you can remove 1 part of each, so each ingredient now will have 2 parts.
