Answer:

<em>2 gallons </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

If Han used 1 1/2 gallons of paint to paint 3/5 of a shed, this can be expressed as;

1 1/2 gallons = 3/5 of the shed

3/2gallons = 3/5 of the shed

To find the number of gallons that will paint the whole shed, we will say;

x gallons = 1 shed

Divide both expressions

3/2/x = 3/5

3/2x = 3/4

2x * 3 = 3*4

6x = 12

x = 12/6

x = 2

<em>Hence 2 gallons will be needed for the whole shed</em>

I need a step by step I got lost in learning
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

6 to the power of 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

 Recall that whenever you divide exponents with the same base, you subtract the powers, but the base will still be the same. Therefore, 6 to the power of 12 divided by 6 to the power of 10 is 6 to the power of 2. Subtract the powers (exponents) or 12 minus 10, and you get 2. Since the base doesn't change, it is still 6. The solution to this expression is 6 to the power of 2. Hope this helps!
