there are (4 to the 9th power) to the 5th power times 4 to the 0 power books at the library. what is the total number of books?

1310720

Step-by-step explanation:

you multiply (4^9) and get 262144 then multiply (262144)^5 and get 1310720*4^0 and multiply 4*0 and get 0 so 1310720 if that makes sense

ratio is 2 : 9

the answer is three

13.5 : 3

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of red paint to blue paint is always 9/7. that means that, whatever x's value, (4x+12)/(4x-4) has that same ratio. so, set up an equation and cross-multiply to solve for x:

9/7 = (4x+12)/(4x-4)

9(4x-4) = 7(4x+12)

36x - 36 = 28x + 84

8x - 36 = 84

8x = 120

x = 15
