Answer:
250 smaller boxes
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the volume of the 2 cuboids.
Formula = Length x width x height
Big cuboid = 50 x 30 x 20 = 30000
Small cuboid = 10 x 3 x 4 = 120
Now divide them.
30000 ÷ 120 = 250 small boxes
Answer: Choice B

======================================================
Explanation:
The two rules we use are


When applying the first rule to the expression your teacher gave you, we can say that:

Then applying the second rule lets us say

Therefore,

-------------
In short, we just multiplied each exponent inside by the outer exponent 1/2.
So that explains why the exponents go from {1/4,16} to {1/8,8} for x and y in that exact order.
So to get a ratio of plates to bowl, you divide both the numbers by a common multiple, which I found the greatest to be 4. So you divide 52 by 4 and 24 by for to get a ratio of 13 plates to 6 bowls. (Also written as: 13:6, 13/6, or 13 to 6)
