The correct question is
What is the value of x in the following equation (1/5)^x=5^8
Applying logarithms both members
log(1/5)^x=log(5^8)
x*log(1/5)=8*log(5)
x=8*log(5)/log(1/5)
we know that
log (1/5)----> log (1)-log (5)----> 0-log (5)-----> -log (5)
so
x=8*log(5)/-log (5)------> x=-8
the answer is
-8
The answer is 35 7/8. We know that to get the mean, you must add up all the numbers and divide by the amount of numbers. Set up the equation (36 3/4 +36 3/8+37 1/2+n)/4 = 36 5/8. After you solve for n, the missing number, you should get 35 7/8.
60 x 60 = 3600 (1 hour)
60 x 30 = 1800 (half hour)
3600 + 1800 = 5400 for one and half hour
answer C. 5400
To find the unit rate you do
$1.39/8 oz.=.17
Then, you multiply the unit rate by the ounces
.17 * 14 oz. = $2.43
