Each time you fold a paper it will double the amount of parts. When you think about it, it's just multiplying by 2 a bunch of times.
One fold is 2 times 1, which is 2.
The second fold is 2 times 2, which is 4.
The third fold is 4 times 2, which is 8.
Using this process, we can simplify that into exponents. If the amount of times you fold is x and the parts double for each fold, then the amount of parts can be represented by:

So if the amount of parts is given and we need the amount of folds, just keep doubling until you get to 64. The amount of times you doubled is the number of times Sylvie folded.
Later you will learn that the opposite of an exponent is a logarithm, which would look like this:

But don't worry about that yet.
For question 13, you need to look at all the numbers that are less than 1/2 and then count the number of marks in total .
Answer: 7 B
For question 14, you need to first make an equation that suits the circumstances and the situations in this problem.
$25+$24x=$193
$24x=$168
x=7 weeks
x stands for the number of weeks that she has to wait for in order to save enough money to purchase the camera.
Answer: 7 weeks A
42% of the body voted = 11960
Total student body = 11960/42% = 28476.19 = 28476 students
The answer is 7/1, when you want to know a reciprocal, all you do to the fraction is flip it around. Hope this Helps!
0=40+3x
0=120x
Calculate the product
0=120x
Swap sides of the equation
120x=0
Divide both sides
X=0
