Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Data:

total distance= 850 miles

gas tank holds gas= 15 gallons

mileage = 72/3.2 miles/gallon

if

72 miles uses= 3.2 gallon

then

850 miles uses= x gallons

by cross-multiplication we get

72x=3.2(850)

x=37.778

i.e. 850 miles will use 37.7778 gallon of gas

Asgas tank holds 15 gallons

number of times gas tank is used up= 37.3/15

                                                            = 2.518

rounding off

number of times gas tank is used up=3

As they filled the gas tank at the start of the road trip, hence 3-1=2

ADDITIONAL STOPS FOR GAS WILL THEY NEED TO MAKE TO GET TO THEIR DESTINATION =2 !

Express (16^3)^1/2 <br> in simplest radical form.
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

I assume you mean 16^(1/3) i.e. the cube root of 16

I am also assuming you mean the real cube root because, as you may know, every non-zero real number has three cube root - one real and two complex conjugates.

Since 16 = 8 x 2 and 8 = 2³ then (2³ x 2)^1/3 = (2³)^1/3 x 2^1/3 = 2 x 2^1/3

You might check that the cube root of 16 is about 2.52 which is twice the cube root of 2
