The SOLT missionaries are throwing a birthday party. There is obviously cake. Mr. Daniel only wants 1/2 of a piece. Mr. Richie eats half of Mr. Daniel's leftover. Ms. Laura eats half of the remaining piece. Ms. Kimberly eats half of Ms. Laura's leftover. Seven more missionaries keep sharing the piece of cake following the same pattern. If Ms. Sarah is the last of the seven, how big is the piece that Ms. Sarah eats?

1/ 112

Step-by-step explanation:

1-½ = ½ ( Mr. Daniel's leftover)

½×½= ¼ ( Mr. Richie)

½×¼= 1/8 ( Ms Laura)

½×1/8 = 1/16 ( Ms. Kimberly)

1/7 × 1/16 = 1/ 112 (the last turn)

so, Ms. Sarah eats 1/ 112 of a piece.

use the power rule  

( a b ) n = a n b n

to distribute the exponent.

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 y 3 . ( 3 x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 . 3 2 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

raise  

3

to the power of  

2 . 9 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2 multiply the exponents in   ( x 2 ) 2

.

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 2 ⋅ 2 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply  

2   by   2 . 9 x 4 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply the exponents in  

( y 3 ) 2 .

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 4 y 3

⋅

2

multiply  

3   by   2 . 9 x 4 y 6

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

first you will have to convert 3/4 into a decimal

which is .75

then you will have to divide 1.5 by .75

which is 2

no you have to divide
