Answer: at most 15 pairs of socks
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of pair of socks of her sister be , and let the number of pairs Lucy has be
.
Since , Lucy has 4 more than 1/3 the number of pairs of socks as her sister, this means that
.............................. equation 1
Also , Lucy has at most 9 pairs of socks , this means that
....................................... equation 2
Equating the two equations , we have
multiply through by 3
subtract 12 from both sides
Therefore , the sister has at most 15 pairs of socks
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The relevant rule of exponents is ...
(a^b·c^d)^e = a^(be)·c^(de)
Then ...
(m^(5/4)·n^(-4/5))^(7/3) = m^(5/4·7/3)·n^(-4/5·7/3)
= m^(35/12)·n^(-28/15)
__
Since you want positive rational exponents, you can write this as ...
= m^(35/12)/n^(28/15)
