The carpenter can cut six full sized pieces of board.
5p = 80b
3(5p) = (80b)3
15p = 240b
Lan need 240g of butter to make fish pie for 15 people.
Step 1 :
(23 x 2 - 5) • x 3
Step 2 :
Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares :
Factoring: 8 x 2-5
Theory : A difference of two perfect squares, A2 - B2 can be factored into (A+B) • (A-B)
Proof : (A+B) • (A-B) =
A2 - AB + BA - B2 =
A2 - AB + AB - B2 =
A2 - B2
Answer:
(8 x 2 - 5) • x 3
This pattern appears to alternate between doubling and subtracting by 1.
To get from 3 to 6, we multiply by two.
To get from 6 to 5, we subtract one.
To get from 5 to 10, we multiply by two.
To get from 10 to 9, we subtract one.
To get from 9 to 18, we multiply by two.
To get from 18 to 17, we subtract one.
Therefore, next we need to multiply by two.
17 x 2 = 34
So, the next number is 34.
To find the number after, we subtract one.
34 - 1 = 33
Thus, the number after is 33.
In conclusion, the next two numbers are 34 and 33.
