In the division rule you subtract the exponents<span> when </span>dividing<span> numbers with the same base. </span>One<span> rule for exponents is that exponents add when you have the same base. This works for any number x that you want to plug in except for x = </span>0<span>,because </span>0/0<span> is indeterminate (it is like dividing </span>zero<span> by </span>zero<span>). No matter what number we use when it is raised to the </span>zero power<span> it will always be </span>1.
You would do 2^2 and will come out to 4. Your mixed number is 4. Then you will do 3/4^2 and will come out to 9/12 Your answer is 4 9/12
4/5 acres of the land were sold.
40* 1/2 = 20
20* 3/5 = 12
12+20= 32
32/40 = 4/5 simplified
The answer is 17
hope this helps:)
