Explain why the exponents cannot be added in the product 12^3 x
11^3.

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponents can only be added if the bases are the same

Here one base is 12 and the other is 11

So the rule of addition is not applicable.

Because the bases (12 and 11) are different.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can only add exponents when the bases are the same.

answer:

total cost for tiles and paints is $924.  

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given that a community hall is in the shape of a cuboid. the hall is 40m long 15m high and 3m wide.

the paint will be required for 4 walls and ceiling.

let us find area of walls and ceiling.

therefore, the area of walls and ceiling is 1410 square meters.

given: cost for 10 litre of paint is $10 and 10 litre paint covers 25 square meter. therefore,

therefore, the total painting cost is $564.

tiles will be required for floor. let us find the area of floor.

given: 1m squared floor tiles costs $3. so,

therefore, the total tiles cost is $360.

now let us find combined total cost of tiles and paint.

therefore, the combined total cost of tiles and paint is $924.
