Answer:

Total = 800 books

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

In a library, there are 3 non-fiction books for every 7 fiction books. It means that the ratio of non-fiction books to the fiction books is 3:7.

There if the library has 240 non-fiction books.

Let non fiction books are 3x and fiction books are 7x.

ATQ,

3x=240

x=80

Fiction books = 7x = 7(80) = 560

Total no of books = fiction books + non-fiction books

= 240 + 560

=800

Hence, the total no of books are 800.

Describe how (2 cubed) (2 superscript negative 4) can be simplified. Multiply the bases and add the exponents. Then find the rec
charle [14.2K]

Add the exponents and keep the same base. Then reciprocal it and change the sign of the exponent. Then the value of the exponent expression is 0.5.

<h3>What is an exponent?</h3>

Exponential notation is the form of mathematical shorthand which allows us to write complicated expressions more succinctly. An exponent is a number or letter is called the base. It indicates that the base is to raise to a certain power. X is the base and n is the power.

The exponent expression is 2³ × 2⁻⁴ can be simplified.

Add the exponents and keep the same base. Then we have

2³ × 2⁻⁴  = 2⁽³⁻⁴⁾

2³ × 2⁻⁴  = 2⁻¹

Then find the reciprocal and change the sign of the exponent.

2^3* 2^{-4} = 2^{-1}\\\\2^3* 2^{-4} = \dfrac{1}{2}\\\\2^3* 2^{-4} = 0.5

The value is 0.5.

More about the exponent link is given below.
