Answer

Find out the how much does one apple cost .

To prove

Let us assume that the number of bananas be x .

Let us assume that the number of apples be y .

As given

At a greengrocer, two bananas and one apple cost $1.16 .

Than the equation becomes

2x + y = 1.16

one banana and one apple cost $0.71.

Than the equation becomes

x + y = 0.71

Subtracting x + y = 0.71 from 2x + y = 1.16

2x - x + y - y = 1.16 - 0.71

x = 0.45

Put in the equation x + y = 0.71

0.45 + y = 0.71

y = 0.71 - 0.45

y = $0.26

Therefore the cost of the one apple is  $0.26 .

A cross shaped pattern is made by arranging four identical rectangles around the sides of a square. The area of the square is 36
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Area of a square is length * length

Area of a rectangle is length * breadth

In the question, the area of the square is 36

And the area of the rectangle is 1(1/3) the area of the square

To find the area of the rectangle, multiply 1(1/3) by the area of the square(36)

Area of rectangle becomes, 1(1/3) * 36 = (4/3) * 36 = 48cm2

To find the perimeter of the shape, we must find the perimeter of the rectangle - perimiter of the square

Since area of square is length * length, the length of the square is 6cm

The breadth of the rectangle is equal to the length of the square, hence, b = 6cm

Since, length * breadth = 48

l * 6 = 48

l = 8

Perimeter of the shape = 4 * perimeter of rectangle - perimter of square

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+b)

Perimeter of sqaure = 4l

Our answer = 4 * 2(6+8) - 4(6)

= 4 * 28 - 36

= 88cm

Apply Laws of Exponents to write an equivalent expression.<br> (3y)-4. (2z)-4
Stels [109]

After Applying Laws of Exponents we can write as (6yz)^{-4}

<h3>What is law of exponents ?</h3>

The exponent of a number indicates how many times a number has been multiplied by itself. For instance, 34 indicates that we have multiplied 3 four times. Its full form is 3 3 3 3. Exponent is another name for a number's power. A whole number, fraction, negative number, or decimal are all acceptable.

<h3>How are powers of powers multiplied?</h3>

Exponents with distinct bases and the same powers can be multiplied by multiplying the bases and writing the power outside of the brackets.

a^{n} .b^{n} =(a.b)^{n}

=3y^{-4} . 2z^{-4}

=3y^{-4} . 2z^{-4}

= (6yz)^{-4}
