Because 5/8 + 6/10 is 49/40 and 49/40 is equal to 1 9/40
Cindy used 17.25 because 15 × .5 = 2.25 and if you add it to 15 ypu get 17.25
Nick had 3 1/4 bottles before, and he had 1 2/4 bottles left, so that means
3 1/4 - 1 2/4 = 1.75
1.75= 1 3/4.
So, I do not agree with nick.
Hope this helps!!! :)

When there is exponent on exponent like in this question 1/7 has an exponent of 7 , the exponents are multiplied.
So,

The 7's will be cancelled out and remaining power will be 1

Hence, option C is correct ..
