Answer:
$9$
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Thea enters a positive integer into her calculator, then squares it, then presses the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key, then squares the result, then presses the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key again such that the calculator displays final number as $243$.
To find: number that Thea originally entered
Solution:
The final number is $243$.
As previously the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key was pressed,
the number before $243$ must be $324$.
As previously the number was squared, so the number before $324$ must be $18$.
As previously the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key was pressed,
the number before $18$ must be $81$
As previously the number was squared, so the number before $81$ must be $9$.
Here is your answer: Combine like terms: 4a+2a=6a and 8b-6b=2b Your answer is 6a+2b
NO. They are not.
We can prove this by turning those numbers into fractions:
16 / 14 = 1.1428 ; 64 / 60 = 1.0667
Or simply:
64 / 16 = 4
60 / 14 = 4.29
To get the equivalent of 16 to 14; we must multiply both numbers by 4.
16 * 4 = 64
14 * 4 = 56
The equivalent of 16 to 14 is 64 to 56.
"Per" essentially means "divided by." To find pieces per ounce, divide pieces by ounces.
(252 pieces)/(14 ounces) = (252/14) pieces/ounce = 18 pieces/ounce
