Answer: a = 37, b=2 and c=2.
Step-by-step explanation: Given expression 7 + 9/4.
Let us simplify given sum of fractions by taking common denominator, we get
![(7)/(1) +(9)/(4)](https://img.qammunity.org/2019/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/dz9sl37n9tctexhdtaeohgf21dzk1thhl6.png)
Common denominator is 4.
Therefore, multiplying top and bottom of 7/1 by 4, we get
.
We got same denominators,
So, combining top numbers, we get
![(28+9)/(4)=(37)/(4)](https://img.qammunity.org/2019/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/vklk9tpkqwr5ulc9ml110qikd6zfib1e03.png)
We can read 37/4 as 37 divided by 4.
Therefore, 37 ÷ 4.
Let us write 4 as the power of 2.
![4= 2^2.](https://img.qammunity.org/2019/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/60d29vw9hazmhcowmigy5xrls6wdy2jz6k.png)

On comparing c÷a^b and 37 ÷ 2^2, we can see..
a = 37, b=2 and c=2.
