Answer: 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are multiplying exponents that have the same base(the are both 4 to...),

keep the base the same, and add the exponents. In this case, 4^3*4^-4 would come out to 1/4. You never never never never want negative exponents. To get rid of them, use the recipricole. 4^-4 is the same as 1/256.

If the bases are not the same and the exponents are the same, do this:x^a*y^a=(xy)^a. Multiply the bases together, and keep the exponent the same.

A chocolate shop sold 1 1/4 ounces of white chocolate. It sold 8 1/4 times as much milk chocolate as white chocolate. How many o
rjkz [21]

Answer:

10.3125 (NOT  ROUNDED)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. I changed it to decimals. 1/4 can easily be changed into a decimal.

2. I set 1/4 = x/100. Then cross multiplied. That would give you 4x = 100.

3. Now you would simplify that. x would be 25. So its 25/100 wich then turns to .25.

4. Now you are going to replace them so it would be 1.25 and 8.25.

5. To find out how much milk chocolate there was you would multiply 1.25 and 8.25.

6. That's your final answer
