If a 12 oz bottle of shampoo lasted for 16 weeks, we have a ratio of 12:16 which can be shortened to 3:4.
Now if we have 18 oz bottle we know that it's 1/2 more than 12 oz bottle, so the ratio will be also 1/2 more. So if it was 12:16, the new ratio will be:
12 + (1/2 * 12) : 16 + (1/2 * 16)
12 + 6 : 16 + 8
18 : 24
It means that 18 oz bottle should last for 24 weeks. Of course the ratio has to stay the same in its lowest form in both situations and as 18:24 can be shortened to 3:4, it proves it's correct :)
It is.
2(x+3)=2x +6
Times 2
2x + 6 =2x+6

Answer:
x^-5 = x to the power of negative 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Which of these is equivalent to 1 over x to the power of 5 ?
Mathematically this is expressed as
(1/x)⁵
We have a rule when it comes to expressing power
(1/a)^b = a^-b
Hence, applying this rule to our question
(1/x)⁵ = (1/x)^5
= x^-5
This is written in words as:
x to the power of negative 5
