What is 1/2 to the 4th power as a fraction?

2 answers:

Bumek [7]3 years ago

Answer:

1/16 ( or as a decimal 0.0625).

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that anything to the power is it times it self that many times.

Example: 4 to the second power is just 4 x 4= 16 (Remember it's NOT 4 x 2)

So, now we have 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = X

If you don't know how to multiply fractions you can easily turn it into a decimal, 0.5! So 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.25, sense it's too the 4th power we have to do that again. So now we have 0.25 x 0.25 = X (or 1/4 x 1/4 = X). Now we do 0.25 x 0.25 = 0.0625. So that's are decimal, but we want it as a fraction so now we convert 0.0625 into 1/16!

I know this isn't the best explanation, but hope it helps!

Stephen & Richard share a lottery win of £2950 in the ratio 2 : 3. Stephen then shares his part between himself, his wife &a

horsena [70]

Answer:

Stephen's wife got £354 more than his son.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount of Lottery = £2950

Now Given:

Stephen & Richard share a lottery amount in the ratio 2 : 3

Let the common factor between them be 'x'.

So we can say that;

$2x+3x=2950\\\\5x = 2950$

Dividing both side by 5 we get;

$\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{2950}{5}\\\\x = 590$

So we can say that;

Stephen share would be = $2x =2\times 590 = \£1180$

Now Given:

Stephen then shares his part between himself, his wife & their son in the ratio 3 : 5 : 2.

Let the common factor between them be 'y'.

So we can say that;

$3y+5y+2y=1180\\\\10y=1180$

Dividing both side by 10 we get;

$\frac{10y}{10}=\frac{1180}{10}\\\\y=118$

So Stephen's wife share = $5y = 5\times 118= \£590$

And Stephen's son share = $2y=2\times118 =\£236$

Now we need to find how much more her wife got then her son.

To find how much more her wife got than her son we will subtract Stephen's son share from Stephen's wife share.

framing in equation form we get;

Amount more her wife got than her son = $590-236 = \£354$

Hence Stephen's wife got £354 more than his son.

Elsa saving money to buy a game so far she had saved $36 which is 3/4 of the total cost of the game how much does the game cost

natita [175]

Answer:

$48

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure out how much the game costs in total, we first need to divide $36 by 3 (3 is the numerator).

36 / 3 = 12

The number 12 is how much each quarter is worth as shown below.

1/4 = 12

2/4 = 24

3/4 = 36

4/4 = ?

To find the answer, all we do is add 12 to 36.

12 + 36 = $48
