Evaluating the numerator and denominator before evaluating
Using the rule of exponents
⇔
,
= 1
Thus
y² ← substitute values into expression
=
× 4² =
× 16 = 
and denominator

= 1 × 4³ = 1 × 64 = 64
Now dividing
÷ 64
=
×
( cancel 16 and 64 )
=
= 
Answer: The first number that appears in both sequences is 28.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's write down numbers from each of the sequences
Sequence 1) We need to start from 7 and multiply 4
7x4=28, 28x4=112
The sequence is 7,28,112...
Sequence 2) We need to start from 8 and add 5
5+8=13, 13+5=18, 18+5=23, 23+5=28
The sequence is 8,13,18,23,28...
They both have 28
Answer:
A. Stone bridges to steel bridges=
12 : 20
6 : 10
3 : 5
answer = 3 : 5
B. Steel bridges to Stone bridges
20 : 12
10 : 6
5 : 3
answer = 5 : 3
Total bridges = 20+12=32
C. Total bridges to steel bridges
32 : 20
16 : 10
8 : 5
answer = 8 : 5
