Answer:
b=2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
There is 8 pints in 1 gallon so 12x8=96
96 pints to fill a 12 gallon pot
It looks like they're multiplied, then you can simply add the exponents,
b⁸ * b⁴ = b⁸⁺⁴ = b¹²
remember, b⁸=b*b*b*b*b*b*b*b and b⁴=b*b*b*b
so b⁸ * b⁴ = b*b*b*b*b*b*b*b * b*b*b*b = b¹²
The 65 tens blocks can be solved by doing 65x10 which is 650. the 7 ones blocks can be solved by 1x7 which is 7 so you then add up 650 and 7 to get a grand total of 657
