Because 3^2 = 9
When you do (⅓)^2 what you are really doing is
(1^2)/(3^2) = 1/9
If you have (⅔)^2 you do
(2^2)/(3^2) = 4/9
Fractions get smaller because the denominator is also being squared which makes the denominator get bigger and when the denominator is bigger, you are dividing by a larger number which gives you a smaller answer. Whereas when you raise a whole number to an exponent, only the numerator get bigger because the denominator is 1 and 1 raised to any exponent is still 1
3^2 = (3^2)/(1^2) = 9/1 = 9
How many books has she read so far? She's been doing this for 7 months, so so far she's read:
7*3=21
how many does she still need to read?
30-21=9
so she needs to read 9 more books. With 3 books a month, this means:
9/3=3
so she needs to read 9 more books, which will take her 3 months!
I got 4x if that isn’t right I will check again
Answer:
37.5
Step-by-step explanation:
First you have to realize that these are similar triangles.
You can do a easy cross multiplication with these types of questions by forming an equation with the similar angles.
put the smaller above the decimal and the bigger one below like this.
=
Now cross multiply
8x=300
x=37.5
