two pieces such that one piece is 3 times the length of the other. How many feet long should the long piece be?

<span>The long piece should measure 7.5 feet or 7'6" (7 foot 6 inches). If x is the length of the short piece then the length of the long piece must be 3x. The total length of the uncut beam is 10 foot. This can be represented by : x + 3x = 10 4x = 10 x = 2.5 As x = 2.5 = length of short piece, then the long piece measures 3x = 3(2.5) = 7.5 feet. There are 12 inches in a foot so 7.5 feet = 7'6"</span>

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

(\frac{2}{3})^{4} written in simplest form is \frac{16}{81}

Step-by-step explanation:

When taking a fraction to a certain power, you can rewrite the expression as the numerator taken to that power over the denominator to that power. In this case, the fraction is \frac{2}{3} and the exponent is 4, so you can write the expression as \frac{2^{4}}{3^{4}}. 2^{4} is 16, and 3^{4} is 81, so the fraction is \frac{16}{81}.
