49^1/2
That's asking for the square root of 49- so, +/-7

18⁰
If I'm not mistaken, anything to the 0th power is 1.


So, 49^1/2 : 18⁰ :: 7 : 1


Does that make sense?

Also, I got this wrong but I feel SO MUCH BETTER!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

The square root (1/2 power) of 49 is 7. Anything to the 0 power is 1.

So my answer is 49* is to 18* as 7 is to 1. (* = superscript power thingies).

I have absolutely no idea when in my entire life I might have learned that. Algebra? Maybe? I . . . did not do well in algebra.
You have skills, is all I'm saying.
