My understanding is that when the power is a negative number, move it to the denominator and change it to positive.
In this case, the base is y, the power is -3
y^(-3)=1/(y^3)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of boxes of cookies that Kendal bought to bring to the party is x.
Each box contains 12 cookies. This means that total number of cookies in x boxes would be
12 × x = 12x
She decides to keep two boxes for herself. This means that the total number of cookies that she kept for herself would be
12 × 2 = 24 cookies
She brings 60 cookies to the party.
The equation that can be used to find the number of boxes, x, Kendal bought would be
12x = 24 + 60
12x = 84
x = 84/12 = 7 boxes
Answer: 150 students walk to school
Step-by-step explanation: 75%=0.75
200 multiplied by 0.75
200×0.75=150 students
Or
75%=3/4
3/4 of the children walk to school
3/4×200=3/4×200/1=150
That would be false. 122 = 144
