6 0

Answer:

= a⁸/b⁻¹⁰

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the expression

(a^2b^-3/a^-2b^2)^2

= a⁴b⁻⁶/a⁻⁴b⁴

Using the law of indices

= a⁴⁻⁽⁻⁴⁾/b⁻⁶⁻⁴

= a⁴⁺⁴/b⁻¹⁰

= a⁸/b⁻¹⁰

Josh attempted 56 free throws during the basketball season. He made 57 of them. How many free throws did he make?
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

He made approximately 32 free throws.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that there's a typo in the question and that he made 57% of his attempted free throws, then we can solve it as shown below:

We can apply a rule of three in order to calculate the number of free throws he made. This is done as follows:

56 free throws -> 100%

x free throws -> 57%

56/x = 100/57

100*x = 57*56

x = 57*56/100 = 31.92

It can also be solved by transforming the percentage in a fraction such as 57% = 57/100 and then multiplying it by the total attempts.

free throws made = 56*57/100 = 31.92

He made approximately 32 free throws.
