Question: √144 how do I rewrite the radical while extracting all the perfect sqares.
Mathematics
1 answer:
elixir [45]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The number itself is a perfect square, so it's going to be hard to do.  What I'm trying to say is that there won't be anything left over underneath the square root sign.

Perfect squares.

144: 4 * 36

√144 = √(4 * 36)

√144 - √4*√36

√144 = 2 * 6 = 12.

In my opinion, the better way to do it is to factor the number down to it's primes. This works much better with larger numbers.

Suppose you want √480

480: 2 * 240

480: 2 * 2 * 120

480: 2 * 2 * 2 * 60

480: 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 30

480: 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 15

480: 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 5

How do you know when to quit? There are 2 rules.

  • Keep dividing by a prime until it gives you a decimal remainder.
  • Keep dividing by the next prime until you have nothing but primes.

So now we have

√480 = √(2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 5)

Here's your last rule: for every pair of like factors you take out one from underneath the root and throw the other one away.

√480 = 2 * 2√ 2 * 3 * 5

√480 = 4√30

Robin baked 702 cookies.He sold them in boxes of 18. After selling all of the boxes of cookies for the same amount each, he earn
loris [4]

Answer:

cost of a box is $3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

sold box = 18

earned = $136.50

solution

we consider here number of boxes of cookies is x

and

for we get Tyler sold  cookies box so number of boxes we divide 702 cookies among 18 is

Tyler sold  = \frac{702}{18}

Tyler sold  = 39 boxes

and

now we consider here y as cost of each box of cookies,

so for cost or sale price of the cookie boxes here we divided 136.50 dollars among 39 boxes

so

cost of each box = \frac{136.5}{39}

cost of each box = 3.5

Thus, the cost of each box was 3.5
