Answer:
Each container weigh 10^3pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
The question lacks the necessary values. Let's restructure the question and include values.
Your roommate's closet is full of skeletons. There are containers full of skeletons which weigh 100,000 pounds total. If there are 100 containers, how much does each container weigh? Leave your answer in the form a^b.
From the question, we are given the following;
Weight of containers full of skeleton = 100000 pounds
Number of containers = 100
Required
Weight of each container
Let's say:
100containers = 100000pounds
1 container = xpound
Cross multiply
100×x = 100,000
Divide both sides by 100
100x/100 = 100,000/100
x = 10,000/100
x = 10^5/10^2
Using the law of indices
x = 10^{5-2}
x = 10^3
Hence the answer in form of a^b is 10^3 pounds.
