For this problem, you could use the Scale Factor.
I will use x for the height of the building.

So 8 is to 90 as 5 is to x.

Our equation is:

8(SF) = 90

Divide both side by 8:

SF = 45/4

Then, we plug SF into the next equation:

5(SF) = x
5(45/4) = x
56.25 = x

Round to the nearest foot, and the height of the building is 56 feet.

Which is equivalent to 64 to the 1/4 power
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

The answer to your question is the first option

Step-by-step explanation:

                                            64^{1/4}

Process

1.- Find the prime factors of 64

                                      64  2

                                      32  2

                                      16   2

                                        8  2

                                        4  2

                                        2  2

                                         1

                      64 = 2⁶

2.- Express 64 as a fractional exponent

                      64^{1/4} = 2^{6/4}

3.- Simplify

                      64^{1/4} = 2^{4/4} 2^{2/4}

                      64^{1/4} = 2^{1} 2^{2/4}

                      64^{1/4} = 2\sqrt[4]{2^{2}}

4.- Result

                      64^{1/4} = 2\sqrt[4]{4}

A farmer packed 3 pints of strawberries every 4 minutes. In the afternoon she packed 2 pints of strawberries every 3 minutes. Wh
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

5 (strawberries / hours)

Step-by-step explanation:

calculation fro morning

strawberries / minutes  x   minutes / hours =   strawberries / hours

 so after adding the value in above equation

3/4* 60/1  = 45 strawberries / hours

 calculation in the afternoon

strawberries / minutes  x   minutes / hours =   strawberries / hours

 2/3 x 60/1  =  40 strawberries / hours

 so now by calculating difference between morning and afternoon packing rates,  you can easily calculate

 45-40 = 5 (strawberries / hours)
