Answer:
56/8 = 7 pieces of paper
Step-by-step explanation:
Take the natural log of both sides
ln(2^x)=ln(.125)
Xln(2)=ln(.125)
X=ln(.125)/ln(2)
X=-3
ALTERNATIVE ROUTE:
You know that 0.125 is equal to 1/8
And 1/2^3 is also equal to 1/8
So since you need the reciprocal to match it the exponent is a negative
