For this case we must find the quotient of the following expression:
We can rewrite the expression as:
(We take into account that)
By definition of multiplication of powers of the same base, we place the same base and add the exponents:
By definition of division of powers of the same base, we place the same base and subtract the exponents:
Answer:
Answer:
(d) 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply by x and divide by its coefficient:
(43.65)(8.79) = (0.4365)(87.9)x
(43.65)(8.79)/((0.4365)(87.9)) = x
At this point, any calculator can give you the answer. It is, perhaps, more satisfying to work out the answer without a calculator.
x = (43.65)/(0.4365) × (8.79)/(87.9)
In the first quotient, the numerator is 100 times the denominator; in the second, the denominator is 10 times the numerator.
x = (100) × (1/10) = 100/10
x = 10
_____
Moving the decimal point to the right 1 place multiplies the numerical value by 10.
