Option c. is the correct answer.
According to the rule of exponents 
, i.e. when two terms are in division with same base , we subtract the exponents
So
Or
x to the 3 fourteenths power
Sum is add
sum of x and 2 means x+2
nothing to it
If a 12 oz bottle of shampoo lasted for 16 weeks, we have a ratio of 12:16 which can be shortened to 3:4.
Now if we have 18 oz bottle we know that it's 1/2 more than 12 oz bottle, so the ratio will be also 1/2 more. So if it was 12:16, the new ratio will be:
12 + (1/2 * 12) : 16 + (1/2 * 16)
12 + 6 : 16 + 8
18 : 24
It means that 18 oz bottle should last for 24 weeks. Of course the ratio has to stay the same in its lowest form in both situations and as 18:24 can be shortened to 3:4, it proves it's correct :)
1.
The edge lengths of a triangle are inversely proportional to 2,3 and 4.
The actual proportions of the lengths are then
12(1/2:1/3:1/4)=6:4:3
The longest side
= 39* (6/(6+4+3)
= 39*6/13
=18
2. 63 breads : 35 kg flour
is the same as
54 breads : x kg flour
Cross multiply and get
x=54*35/63=30
30 kg of flour are needed to make 54 breads.
