Answer:

(1/3 - 5/6) / 5/6

You want to make 1/3 and 5/6 have the same denominator so you multiply both the numerator and denominator of 1/3 by 2 to get 2/6. You plug that back into your equation to get: (2/6 - 5/6) / 5/6. 2/6 - 5/6 is -3/6. -3/6 divided by 5/6 is -3/6 multiplied by 6/5 which is -3/5.

Katen [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$(5^{-2}$ × $4^{-4}$ $)^{-2}$

= $(5^{-2}$ $)^{-2}$ x $(4^{-4})^{-2}$ ∴ $(a.b)^{n} =a^{n} .b^{n}$

= $5^{-2.-2}$ x $4^{-4 . -2}$ ∴ $(a^{n} )^{m}$ = $a^{nm}$ // here m is an exponent of $a^{n}$ .

= $5^{4}$ x $4^{8}$
