I believe the answer is b= -5
Its 2 8/15 Conversion a mixed number 1 2
5
to a improper fraction: 1 2/5 = 1 2
5
= 1 · 5 + 2
5
= 5 + 2
5
= 7

To find new numerator:
a) Multiply the whole number 1 by the denominator 5. Whole number 1 equally 1 * 5
5
= 5
5
b) Add the answer from previous step 5 to the numerator 2. New numerator is 5 + 2 = 7
c) Write previous answer (new numerator 7) over the denominator 5.
One and two fifths is seven fifths
Conversion a mixed number -1 2
15
to a improper fraction: -1 2/15 = -1 2
15
= -1 · 15 + (-2)
15
= -15 + (-2)
15
= -17
15
To find new numerator:
a) Multiply the whole number -1 by the denominator 15. Whole number -1 equally -1 * 15
15
= -15
15
b) Add the answer from previous step -15 to the numerator 2. New numerator is -15 + 2 = -13
c) Write previous answer (new numerator -13) over the denominator 15.
Minus one and two fifteenths is minus thirteen fifteenth
Subtract: 7

The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators - LCM(5, 15) = 15. The fraction result cannot be further simplified by cancelling.
In words - seven fifths minus minus seventeen fifteenth = thirty-eight fifteenths.
The answer is a! i hope this helps you!
The expression is equivalent to 1.5 raised to the fifth power divided by 0.7 raised to the fourth power, all raised to the third power is; Option A; 1.5 raised to the fifteenth power divided by 0.7 raised to the twelfth power
<h3>How to solve exponents?</h3>
We want to find the expression that is equivalent to 1.5 raised to the fifth power divided by 0.7 raised to the fourth power, all raised to the third power.
The sentence above can be expressed as;
((1.5⁵)/(0.7⁴))³
This can be broken down into;
[1.5^(5 * 3)]/(0.7^(4 * 3))
1.5¹⁵/0.7¹²
Looking at the options, the only correct one is;
Option A; 1.5 raised to the fifteenth power divided by 0.7 raised to the twelfth power
