Which expressions are equivalent to 1 5 ⋅ 1 5 ⋅ 1 5 ⋅ 1 5 5 1 ⋅ 5 1 ⋅ 5 1 ⋅ 5 1 start fraction, 1, divided by, 5, end fr

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The possible expressions are:

$\frac{1}{5} X \frac{1}{5} X \frac{1}{5}X \frac{1}{5}$

$\frac{1}{5^4}$

$\frac{1}{625}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to determine the expression equivalent to:

$\frac{1}{5} \cdot \frac{1}{5} \cdot \frac{1}{5}\cdot \frac{1}{5}$

Since the options are not listed, I would give you possible answers.

$\frac{1}{5} \cdot \frac{1}{5} \cdot \frac{1}{5}\cdot \frac{1}{5} = \frac{1}{5} X \frac{1}{5} X \frac{1}{5}X \frac{1}{5}$

$\frac{1}{5} X \frac{1}{5} X \frac{1}{5}X \frac{1}{5}=(\frac{1}{5})^4=\frac{1^4}{5^4}=\frac{1}{5^4}$

$\frac{1}{5} X \frac{1}{5} X \frac{1}{5}X \frac{1}{5}=\frac{1}{625}$

Which equation can be used to find the value of b if side a measures 8.7 cm? 8.7 + b = 54.6 17.4 + b = 54.6 26.1 + b = 54.6 34.8

Gnom [1K]

The correct equation is 8.7 + b = 54.6
because it is given that measure of side a is 8.7cm, in all other equations the values of a is different.
from the first equation we can find the value of b, that is
b = 54.6 - 8.7 = 45.9
so, value of b is 45.9cm
