Answer:

The total cost of 1 belt and 1 tie is $13 and $39 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The cost of 4 belts and 5 ties is $247.

Each tie costs 3 times as much as a belt.

Let the cost of a belt is x and that of a tie is y.

ATQ,

4x + 5y = 247 ...(1)

y = 3x ....(2)

Put the value of y from equation (2) in equation (1)

4x + 5(3x) = 247

4x + 15x = 247

19x = 247

x = 13

Put the value in equation (2)

y = 3x

= 3(13)

= 39

So, the total cost of 1 belt and 1 tie is $13 and $39 respectively.

Which expression is equivalent to (x superscript four-thirds baseline x superscript two-thirds Baseline ) superscript one-third

Andrei [34K]

<h3>The equivalent expression is:</h3>

$(x^{\frac{4}{3}}x^{\frac{2}{3}})^{\frac{1}{3}} = x^{\frac{2}{3}$

Solution:

Given expression is:

$\displaystyle (x^{\frac{4}{3}}x^{\frac{2}{3}})^{\frac{1}{3}}$

We have to find the equivalent expression

We can simplify the above expression using law of exponents

Use the following law of exponents:

$a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}$

Therefore,

$\displaystyle (x^{\frac{4}{3}}x^{\frac{2}{3}})^{\frac{1}{3}} = (x^{\frac{4}{3}+\frac{2}{3}})^{\frac{1}{3}}\\\\Simplify\\\\\displaystyle (x^{\frac{4}{3}}x^{\frac{2}{3}})^{\frac{1}{3}} = (x^2)^\frac{1}{3}$

Use another law of exponent

$(a^m)^n = a^{mn}$

Therefore,

$(x^{\frac{4}{3}}x^{\frac{2}{3}})^{\frac{1}{3}} = x^{\frac{2}{3}$

Thus the equivalent expression is found

The cost of a phone has increased by 10% to £352 work out the original price

lions [1.4K]

The answer is £316.80.

This is because you're working out the original price from a percentage increase.

To do this, you do the original price ÷ (1- percentage increase as a decimal).

So it would be 352 ÷ (1 - 0.10) which is 352 ÷ 0.9.

And that equals to £316.80.

Misty has several pieces of construction paper that each measure 4 inches long and 9 inches wide. She needs to create the smalle

solniwko [45]

We are given that the dimensions are 4 in x 9 in. To get the smallest possible square, first let us find for the LCM of 4 and 9.

4 = 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36

9 = 0, 9, 18, 27, 36

We can actually see that 36 is the least common multiple.

Therefore the smallest possible square has a dimension of:

36 inches by 36 inches
