Multiply (or distribute) the exponent outside the parenthesis with every exponent inside the parenthesis, remember that if there is no exponent shown, then the exponent is 1. Step 3: Apply the Negative Exponent Rule. Negative exponents in the numerator get moved to the denominator and become positive exponents.
Time = 11/2 = 5 1/2
Road = 4 1/2 miles
Speed = 5 1/2 : 4 1/2 = 1 2/9 <------------answer
The answer that you have is most likely right, since the grouping did not change.
Subtract 2b by both sides which gets -b+4=-5 then subtract 4 by both sides so you get -b=-9 and divide -1 by both sides so that b=9
We know that
<span>1½ cup of cleaner-------> (1*2+1)/2-----> 3/2 cup of cleaner
</span><span>the ratio of cleaner to water=(3/2)/12---> 3/(2*12)--> 3/24--> 1/8
the answer is
1/8</span>
