Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3^2/5 x 3^-7/5

We know that a^b* a^c = a^(b+c)

3^(2/5 -7/5)

3^ (-5/5) = 3^ -1

We know that a^-b = 1/ a^b

3^-1 = 1 / 3

Answer:

5b = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Abdul bought b books and Debra bought 5 times as many books as Abdul, then 5b represents the number of books Debra bought. Since we know that Debra bought 20 books, we can write an equation to represent that: 5b = 20.
