Answer: the winning strategy is to take 1 chip, leaving our opponent with  the losing position of 5 chips.

Step-by-step explanation:

suppose we start with 6 chips.

* If we take 1 chip, we leave our opponent with 5 - which we showed  

  was a losing position for him.

* If we take 2 chip (leaving 4), our opponent will take 3 - we lose.

* If we take 3 chip (leaving 3), our opponent will take 2 - we lose.

So our winning strategy is to take 1 chip, leaving our opponent with  

the losing position of 5 chips.

Find the prime factorization of 120.
artcher [175]

Answer:

(7/8 - 4/5)^2 = 9/

1600

= 0.005625

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract: 7/

8

- 4/

5

= 7 · 5/

8 · 5

- 4 · 8/

5 · 8

= 35/

40

- 32/

40

= 35 - 32/

40

= 3/

40

For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of both denominators - LCM(8, 5) = 40. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 8 × 5 = 40. In the next intermediate step, the fraction result cannot be further simplified by canceling.

In words - seven eighths minus four-fifths = three fortieths.

Exponentiation: the result of step No. 1 ^ 2 = 3/

40

^ 2 = 32/

402

= 9/

1600

In words - three-fortieths squared = nine one-thousand six-hundredths.
