(2^3)=2*2*2=8
(2^-7)=1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2=1/128
8*1/128=1/16=.0625
Answer:
64 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The shadow of the post is 12 feet long. The shadow of the flagpole is 96 feet long.
The shadow of the flagpole is 8 times longer than the shadow of the post.
8 x 8 = 64
So draw a cross! One line segment is KL and the other Mn
First isolate
by subtracting 1 from both sides of the equation.
That gives you
.
From here, since x is being divided by 2, multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
So <em>x = 10</em>.
