Multiply the decimal numbers 0.56 and 0.9 as whole numbers: 56 × 9 = 504. Then place the decimal to reflect the total number of decimal places in both numbers (two for 0.56 and one for 0.9, totaling three): 0.504 .

First, add 4 to both sides to isolate the term with x: 5x = 20. Then, divide both sides by 5 to find x: x = 4 .

First, simplify the product (3/10) × (2/3) = 6/30, which reduces to 1/5. Next, perform the subtraction: 5/8 - 1/5. Convert both to a common denominator, 40, resulting in 25/40 - 8/40 = 17/40 .

Convert the decimal 0.125 to a fraction by recognizing that 0.125 equals 125/1000. Simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 125: 125 ÷ 125 = 1 and 1000 ÷ 125 = 8. The simplest form is 1/8 .

Using the laws of exponents, simplify (5³ × 5²) ÷ 5⁴ by combining the exponents: 5^(3+2) ÷ 5⁴ = 5⁵ ÷ 5⁴. Then subtract the exponents: 5^(5-4) = 5¹ = 5 .

To convert 3/8 to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator. Performing the division 3 ÷ 8 results in 0.375 .

Multiply both sides by 5 to eliminate the fraction: x - 2 = 15. Then add 2 to both sides: x = 17 .

First, perform the division 3/5 ÷ 2/7 by multiplying by the reciprocal: (3/5) × (7/2) = 21/10. Then, add 1/2 to 21/10. Convert 1/2 to a fraction with a denominator of 10: 5/10. The sum is 21/10 + 5/10 = 26/10 or 2.6 .

To simplify 2³, calculate the product of 2 multiplied by itself two more times: 2 × 2 × 2 = 8 .

To find the reciprocal of 7/9, invert the fraction: 7/9 becomes 9/7. The reciprocal switches the numerator and the denominator, which is the essence of the reciprocal operation .
