I believe the answer is 3/8. The whole portion of employees, which is translated as 8/8 is deducted by 5/8, which is the population of male employees.
Answer:
what are you supposed to be doing
The fifth square root as in a^(1/2)^(1/2)^(1/2)^(1/2)^(1/2)
Well that is equal to a^((1/2)^5) or a^(1/32)
Since a=x^16 in this case and the rule (b^a)^c=b^(a*c) we have:
(x^16)^(1/32)
x^(16/32)
x^(1/2) or if you prefer
√x
