X + 3x + 4x = 56
8x = 56
x = 7

The shortest piece is 7 inches
The middle piece is 7*3 = 21 inches.
The longest piece is 4*7 = 28 inches

Check
7 + 21 + 28 = 56 It does check and the lengths are correct.

The number forty one to the power of negative start fraction two over five end fraction end power can be written in the form sta
Fantom [35]
From the description we can infer that we have the expression: 41^{- \frac{2}{5} }.
Now, to write our expression as a as a root, we are going to apply the law of exponents: x^{-n}= \frac{1}{x^n} first
41^{- \frac{2}{5} }= \frac{1}{41^{ \frac{2}{5} }}

Next, we are going to apply the law about fractional exponents: x^{ \frac{m}{n}}= \sqrt[n]{x^m}
\frac{1}{41^{ \frac{2}{5} }}= \frac{1}{ \sqrt[5]{41^2} }

We can conclude that the value of B is 2.

Fiona has $18 to spend. She spent $4.25, including tax, to buy a notebook. She needs to save $9.75, but she wants to buy a snack
Sati [7]
18 - 4.25 = 13.75.
13.75 - 9.75 = what is left to spend, $4.00

This means she can buy no more than 8 cracker packs.
