what's this thing One fifth of negative Third Well here's

00:17

something lancers All right here we go This question wants

00:23

us to make sure we know our way around and

00:25

negative exposed When our bases of fractions we know that

when our bases already less than one yeah you guessed

00:41

it it goes in the other direction You are very

00:43

small base is about to get an enhancement Whenever we

have a number like this we can rewrite it with
