Answer:

2 1/7 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

A factory makes rectangular sheets of cardboard, each with an area 2 1/2 square feet. Each sheet of cardboard can be cut into smaller pieces of cardboard measuring 1 1/6 square feet. How many smaller pieces of cardboard does each sheet of cardboard provide?

Each sheet of cardboard = 2 1/2 square feet

Each smaller pieces of cardboard = 1 1/6 square feet

Number of smaller pieces of cardboard per sheet of cardboard = Each sheet of cardboard ÷

Each smaller pieces of cardboard

= 2 1/2 square feet ÷ 1 1/6 square feet

= 5/2 ÷ 7/6

= 5/2 × 6/7

= (5*6) / (2*7)

= 30/14

= 15/7

= 2 1/7 pieces

Number of smaller pieces of cardboard per sheet of cardboard = 2 1/7 pieces

Answer:

Ok, so this is a word game, basically. The answer would be no, he is not correct BECAUSE...⬇

Step-by-step explanation:

It looks to be asking "Is Jesse correct in saying that he has EXACTLY one liter left?" That would be a no because even though 10L-7L= 3L, the problem asks if he does have exactly ONE liter left, and Jesse says he DOES. But, according to my little equation above, if he drank 7L, he would have 3L left, NOT 1L. Soo, my answer would be "No, Jesse is not correct because 10L-7L=3L and if he says there is 1L left, he would not be correct because there are 3L left." Hope that helps!

\sqrt[8]{48^4}  can be rewritten as 48^4 to the \frac{1}{8}  power:

(48^4)^ \frac{1}{8}

Now, applying exponent rules (multiply exponent inside parentheses by the one outside parentheses), we get:

(48^ \frac{1}{2})

This is equivalent to \sqrt{48}, so now, we just simplify:

\sqrt{48}=  \sqrt{16*3}= \sqrt{16}* \sqrt{3}=4 \sqrt{3}

So:

\sqrt[8]{48^4} =4 \sqrt{3}
