Answer:

1.125 inches²

Step-by-step explanation:

$Area \: of \: a \: rectangle \\ = length \times width \\ = \frac{3}{2} \: inches \times \frac{3}{4} \: inches \\ = ( \frac{3}{2} \times \frac{3}{4} ) \: {inches}^{2} \\ = \frac{9}{8} \: {inches}^{2} \\ = 1.125 \: {inches}^{2}$

The area of a rectangle can be found by multiplying the length by the width

Given length: 3/2

Given width: 3/4

Area = 3/2 * 3/4 = 9/8 or 1.125

The admission fee at a small fair is $1.50 for children and $4.00 for

IgorC [24]

1.50c + 4.00a = 5,050

c + a = 2,200

-1.50 (c + a = 2,200)

1.50c + 4.00a = 5,050
-1.50c - 1.50a = -3,300

2.5a = 1750

a = 700

c + 700 = 2,200

c = 1500

700 adults and 1500 children attended the fair.

Very small numbers are often written in exponential form using scientific notation to make them easier to multiply or divide. Ex

Tems11 [23]

The laws of exponents that are often used in calculating values written in scientific notation are

$a^m*a^n = a^{m+n}$ , and
$\frac{a^m}{a^n}= a^{m-n}$

for example;
$10^6*10^{-7}=10^{(6+-7)}=10^{-1}$
$\frac{10^{-8}}{10^{-9}}=10^{(-8--9)}=10^1$
