Answer: 1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Kyle had 1/2 of a sheet cake.

He then cut this half that he had into 5 pieces of the same size.

The fraction of the sheet cake he has therefore is:

= 1/2 ÷ 5

= 1/2 * 1/5

= 1/10

<em>Each piece was 1/10 of the sheet cake.</em>

a^{-n} \implies \cfrac{1}{a^n}

5^{-2}\div 5^4\implies \cfrac{5^{-2}}{5^4}\implies \cfrac{1}{5^25^4}\implies \cfrac{1}{5^{2+4}}\implies \cfrac{1}{5^6}\implies \cfrac{1}{15625}$

What is the least common denominator of the four fractions listed below 20 7/10, 20 3/4, 18 9/10, 20 18/25

Feliz [49]

So what you do is see all the denomenators and factor them (denomenaotrs are the bottom numbres)

10,4,10,25
10=2 times 5
4=2 times 2
10=2 times 5
25=5 times 5
we need to include all of them so we need at leas two 2's, and two 5's
2 times 2 times 5 times 5=100
leact common denomator is 100
