Nine and ninety-eight hundreths
Feel free to change it up a little.
Sam and his friend went out for pancakes. They ordered a huge stack of pancakes but the waitress didn't give them enough maple syrup. Sam got 1/5 of a cup of syrup and his friend got 1/2 of a cup. If they wanted a lot of syrup, they would have to combine their cup of syrup.
How much syrup would they have if they combined their cups of syrup?
Now solve.
First, find the common denominator
10 is the common denominator
1/5=2/10 1/2=5/10
2/10+5/10=7/10
Sam and his friend has 7/10 cups of syrup, now they have enough and are satisfied
Answer:
12^4 = 20736
Step-by-step explanation:
The property of exponents used to simplify : 12^8/12^4
The division property :
a^x / a^y = a^(x - y)
Therefore ;
12^8/12^4
12^8 / 12^4 = 12^(8 - 4) = 12^4 = 20,736
