Why is a number raised to the zero power ALWAYS one and never any other number?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:
Do you know how to simplify, let's say for example,    x⁵/x²  ?

When the bases are the same, you can just subtract the exponent in
the denominator from the exponent in the numerator.  So  x⁵/x² = x³ .

Now look at  x⁷/x⁷ .  From that same handy tip, x⁷/x⁷ = x⁰ .

BUT ... any fraction with the same number on top and bottom
is equal to ' 1 '.  So  x⁰ = 1 , no matter what 'x' happens to be.

Does that do anything for you ?

Answer:

220 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Find how many hours there are between the two times which is 3 hours then multiply 3 by 60 because there are 60 minutes in an hour

Since the time is 11:40 we also know 40 minutes have passed so add the two minutes

40+180=220

Jacob is dividing 6 aquariums into 1/8 of an aquarium sections for his different animals. How many 1/8's are there in Jacobs aquaiums?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Jacob is dividing 6 aquariums into 1/8 of an aquarium sections for his different animals. How many 1/8's are there in Jacobs aquariums?

To get the number of 1/8 in Jacobs aquariums,we simply divide 6 by 1/8

 6 ÷ 1/8

But whenever you are dividing by a fraction, you can simply change the division to multiplication in order to make your work easier, all you need to do to change the division to multiplication is to simply turn the number over, that is; the denominator becomes the numerator and the numerator becomes the denominator,

In this case 8 becomes the numerator and 1 becomes the denominator

Hence;

6 ×  8 /1   =  6 × 8 = 48

Therefore, the number of 1/8's in Jacobs aquariums are 48

There would be 48/8th’s
1/8*6=48

One case of books weighs 35 pounds. One case of magazines weighs 23 pounds.A book store wants to ship 72 cases of books and 94 cases of magazines to another store. What is the total weight of the shipment

Answers

Shipment = 72 cases of books + 94 cases of magazines
1 case of books = 35 pounds
1 case of magazines = 23 pounds

Shipment = 72 × 35 + 94 × 23 pounds

72 × 35 = 2520
94 × 23 = 2162

Shipment = 2520 + 2162 pounds

Shipment = 4682 pounds
