There are (8) eighths in 1, so multiply this by 6 1/2 to determine how many eighths there are:
8*6.5 = <u><em>52 eighths</em></u> in 6 1/2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 0.05x = 36225
x(1 + 0.05) = 36225
x*1.05 = 36225
by solving we find:
x = $34,500
4.20/12 = 0.35$
6.19/16.3= 0.38$
8.40/28 = 0.30$
21.12/64 = 0.33$

Answer:
In order to understand exponential equations with a whole number and a fraction, we have to revisit the definition.
Exponentiation is just repeated multiplication. For instance, if we have 2^3, we can see that 2 * 2 * 2 = 8. The number keeps getting bigger.
Likewise, if we have (1/2)^3, 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8. The number keeps getting smaller. Notice a pattern?
When we have a number greater than 1 as a base in an exponential function, the number keeps growing. This is called exponential growth.
In contrast, whenever we have a number less than 1 as a base (i.e. a fraction), the number keeps getting smaller. This is called exponential decay.
Hope this helps.
