Simplify and express in exponential form: 8^-1 * 3^3/ 2^-4 * 9^-2

2^1* 3^7

Step-by-step explanation:

8^-1 * 3^3/ 2^-4 * 9^-2

Negative exponents move from the numerator to the denominator or from the denominator to the numerator

2^4*9^2* 3^3 /8^1  

Rewriting 9^2 as 3^2^2 = 3^4  and 8 = 2^3

2^4 * 3^3 * 3^4 / 2^3

2^4/ 2^3 = 2   and 3^3 * 3^4 = 3^(3+4) = 3^7

2* 3^7

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so we basically need to find the surface area in feet.
1) 10 inches = 10/12 feet = 5/6 of a foot
2) To find the area of a side surface, we have to square the side: (5/6)^2 = 25/36
3) All right! We have six of those squares, so 6(25/36) = 150/36 = 4.166...
The closest to this is 4.17 square feet, so C is the answer.
Hope this helps!
