Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You are planning a thanksgiving fest for all your family and friends. You invite 224 people. You plan to have a piece of pie for each guest. You only have $191 left in your budget. How many of each type of pie should you hut

Let the number of pumpkin pies = p

The number of apple pies = a

Pumpkin pies have 6 pieces and cost $5. Apple pies have 8 pieces and cost $7.

Hence:

p + a = 224 people

p = 224 - a

$5 × p + $7 × a = $191

5p + 7a = 191..... Equation 1

Substitute 224 - a for p in Equation 1

5(224 - a) + 7a = 191

1120 - 5a + 7a = 191

- 5a + 7a = 191

The length of a rectangle is four times its width. If the area of the rectangle is 100 ft?, find its perimeter
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

P = 50 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A = L*W

If

L = 4W

then

100 = 4W*W

100 = 4W^2

W^2 = 100/4

W^2 = 25

W = 5 ft

Then

L= 4(5)

L= 20 ft

P = 2L + 2W

Then

P = 2(20) + 2(5)

P = 40 + 10

P = 50 ft

One nice thing about this situation is that you’ve been given everything in the same base. To review a little on the laws of exponents, when you have two exponents with the same base being:

– Multiplied: Add their exponents
– Divided: Subtract their exponents

We can see that in both the numerator and denominator we have exponents *multiplied* together, and the product in the numerator is being *divided* by the product in the detonator, so that translates to *summing the exponents on the top and bottom and then finding their difference*. Let’s throw away the twos for a moment and just focus on the exponents. We have

[11/2 + (-7) + (-5)] - [3 + 1/2 + (-10)]

For convenience’s sake, I’m going to turn 11/2 into the mixed number 5 1/2. Summing the terms in the first brackets gives us

5 1/2 + (-7) + (-5) = - 1 1/2 + (-5) = -6 1/2

And summing the terms in the second:

3 + 1/2 + (-10) = 3 1/2 + (-10) = -6 1/2

Putting those both into our first question gives us -6 1/2 - (-6 1/2), which is 0, since any number minus itself gives us 0.

Now we can bring the 2 back into the mix. The 0 we found is the exponent the 2 is being raised to, so our answer is

2^0, which is just 1.

Answer:

1/(5^12 * 32^3 * 9^15)

Step-by-step explanation:

5^-12 = 1/(5^12)

32^-3 = 1/(32^3)

9^-15 = 1/(9^15)

1/(5^12) * 1/(32^3) * 1/(9^15) = 1/(5^12 * 32^3 * 9^15)
