<u><em>Part 1:</em></u><u>Before we begin, you need to remember the following rule:</u>

<u>The given expression is:</u>

Since the base is the same in both numerator and denominator, we can apply the above rule. <u>This means that:</u>

= 12¹⁻³ = 12⁻²
<u><em>Part 2:</em></u><u>Before we begin, you need to remember the following rule:</u>
x⁻ᵃ =

Now, <u>from part 1</u>, we simplified the expression into 12⁻²
Since the power is negative, we can apply the above rule.
<u>This means that:</u>
12⁻² =

Hope this helps :)
Answer:
yes I see also csk CRICKET . CSK TEAM IS OP
Solution:
As we given that
then using this conversion factor we can write 
and further it can be written as

Hence the required conversion factor is 2.54 cm/1 inch as we can see from the above calculation.
Start by proving to them that the number 0.57 can be converted into a fraction . A whole number can't exactly be put in to a fraction. 0.57 can be converted to 14.25/25. This information means that 0.57 IS a rational number. Hope this convinced them!
