A powered by B equals B powered by A. A does not equal B. What's A and what's B?
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I know that there is a zero and a 1 involved in this somewhere. The  only answer I can get which is a bit of a cheat, is

1^0! = 0!^1

These are not exactly the same thing. The trouble is that they are equal. There is a difference between "not the same thing" and "equal."

If I think of something else, I'll put it in a comment.

Tommy can ride his bicycle 4.5 miles in 15 minutes. How many miles can he ride in 75 minutes
adoni [48]
Here, we need to set up a proportion.

4.5 miles in 15 minutes.

In 75 minutes, how much miles can he ride?

4.5/15 = x/75

Cross multiply

4.5 * 75 = 337.5
15*x = 15x

15x = 337.5

15x/15 = 337.5/15
x= 22.5

Final answer:- Tommy can ride 22.5 miles in 75 minutes.
