Marie has a small copy of Rene margrittes famous painting. The Schoolmasters. Her copy has dimensions of 2 inches by 1.5 inches. The scale of her copy is 1 inch:40 cm What is the dimensions of the original painting?
Every 1 inch on her copy is the same as 40 cm on the original.
You just have to multiply by 40 and convert to centimetres.
2 x 40 = 80
1.5 x 40 = 60
So the original painting is:
80cm by 60cm
I’ve done these questions before and i’ve gotten confused because I have trouble with nagative numbers but i’ve gotten better st it. It’s -5
I wonder if you mean to write ![\sqrt[3]{256}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B256%7D)
in place of 
...
If you meant what you wrote, then we have
If you meant to write (the cube root of 256), then we could go on to have
![\sqrt[3]{256}=\sqrt[3]{16^2}=\sqrt[3]{(4^2)^2}=\sqrt[3]{4^4}=\sqrt[3]{4^3\cdot4}=4\sqrt[3]4](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B256%7D%3D%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B16%5E2%7D%3D%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B%284%5E2%29%5E2%7D%3D%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B4%5E4%7D%3D%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B4%5E3%5Ccdot4%7D%3D4%5Csqrt%5B3%5D4)
