Hello!
To find how much batches of cookies the factory made, we need to divide the total number of bags of flour used by how many bags of flour are needed for one batch of cookies.
Before dividing, we need to convert the complex fraction into an improper fraction.
1 1/5 → 5 × 1 + 1 = 6/5
7 1/5 → 5 × 7 + 1 = 36/5
For every batch of cookies, the factory uses 6/5 bags of flour. Yesterday, the factory used 36/5 bags of flour.
Remember when dividing by a fraction, it is like multiplying its reciprocal. This means that the second fraction is flipped, then which it can be multiplied together.

Therefore, the cookie factory made 6 batches of cookies yesterday.
The power of 10 is -5
Move the decimal point to the right until the first significant number and in this problem it is 2. It took 5 places to the right until going past the 2 and the number would be negative because going right past the decimal point will make any power negative.
Answer:
9.7
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2-1/4
(1/2x2)-1/4
2/4-1/4
2-1
