If the tiger has consumed 60 pounds of food in 5 days that's \( \frac{60}{5} \) = 12 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 132 - 60 = 72 more pounds of food to reach 132 pounds total. At 12 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{72}{12} \) = 6 more days.

To convert a negative exponent to a positive exponent, calculate the positive exponent then take the reciprocal.

Latoya scored 78% on the test meaning she earned 78% of the possible points on the test. There were 80 possible points on the test so she earned 80 x 0.78 = 62 points. Each question is worth 2 points so she got \( \frac{62}{2} \) = 31 questions right.

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{12} \)
\( \sqrt{4 \times 3} \)
\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 3} \)
2\( \sqrt{3} \)

A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.
