Answer:

factor out 5^19

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Reason from parity:

both 5^20 and 5^19 are products with only odd numbers (5) as factors. Hence each is an odd number. The difference of odd numbers is always even.

b) Factor:

5^20 -5^19 = 5^19(5 -1) = 5^19×4

This product has an even factor (4), so is even.

the ratio of the length of an airplane wing to its width is 7 to 1. find the length of wing is 26.7 meters, how wide must it be?

maw [93]

If the ratio is 7 to 1, the width of the wing must be 1/7 of the length. So, we just divide 26.7 by 7 to get 3.81 meters.
