The third option listed:
Step-by-step explanation:
We start by writing all the numerical factors inside the qubic roots in factor form (and if possible with exponent 3 so as to easily identify what can be extracted from the root):
And now we combine all like terms (notice that the only two terms we can combine are the first two, which contain the exact same radical form:
Therefore this is the simplified radical expression:
Answer:
50 soldiers must be transferred elsewhere.
Step-by-step explanation:
We solve this question by proportions, using a rule of three.
As the number of soldiers decrease, the provisions last for more time. This means that the measures are inversely proportional, and we have an inverse rule of three, using line multiplication, instead of cross.
30 days of provisions - 200 soldiers
40 days of provisions - x soldiers
Simplifying by 40
The provisions will last for 40 days with 150 soldiers, which means that 200 - 150 = 50 soldiers must be transferred elsewhere.
