1) 3 5/7 divided by 7/8.


First, change 3 5/7 into an improper fraction of 26/7 and then divided by 7/8. Remember to flip 7/8 over to become 8/7 and also to change the division sign to the multiplication sign when you do so. LIke this:


3 5/7 / 7/8 = 26/7 * 8/7


= 4 12/49


2) 12 5/6 + 8 9/16


convert both fractions into improper fractions:


77/6 + 137/16


Then, find the common denominator which is 48


616/48 + 411/48


= 1027/48


= 21 19/48


3) 6^ -3


convert negative index to positive index, which is:


1/6^3= 1/216


4) 14569000


Move the decimal to the first number. The number before the decimal place must be less than 10 and more than zero, like from 1-9, and later count the place values to get the index notation, which is at its 7th power. So, the index notation should be:


1.4569 * 10^7
