Answer:

There are 66 gold coins in the jar

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of silver coins = X

Then the number of gold coins = 3X (as there are 1/3 number of silver coins as gold)

Total coins =88

Total coins = silver coins + gold coins

Total coins = X + 3X = 88

Total coins = 4X = 88

X = 88/4

X = 22

No. Of silver coins = 22

No. Of gold coins = 3X = 3×22

No. Of gold coins = 3X= 66

Check

Total coins = 3X + X = 88

66+22 = 88

88 = 88

Hope it helps...

Answer:

Hello There!!

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of silver coins be x and gold coins be 3x which add up to 4x. Make an expression and add 88 with 4x so 4x=88

x=22(88÷4).

So x=22[silver coins]

3x=66(22×3) [gold coins]

hope this helps,have a great day!!

Why do whole numbers rise to an exponent get greater while fractions raise to an exponent get smaller?

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

This is because exponents increase a number, for example $2, and, 2^2$ <em>squaring a number is basically multiplying it by itself.</em> So $2 * 2 = 2^2=4$ . Now obiviously 4 is greater than 2. But lets make the numbers like this:

$\frac{1}{2}, and, \frac{1}{2}^2$

And again, $\frac{1}{2}*\frac{1}{2} = (\frac{1}{2})^2 = \frac{1}{4}$

Now, which is bigger $\frac{1}{2}or\frac{1}{4}$

A quarter is smaller than a half right?

So in this case we can see that fractions raised to an exponent get smaller while numbers raised to an exponent get bigger.
