Answer:
Simplifying a square root just means factoring out any perfect squares from the radicand, moving them to the left of the radical symbol, and leaving the other factor inside the radical symbol. If the number is a perfect square, then the radical sign will disappear once you write down its root.
Part A : $25.50
Part B : $499.80
The situation above described that Jeff added two - thirds of 128 to the flour. The numerical value of (2/3)(128) is 85.33 grams. The recipe says to add only 32 grams of vanilla powder. Hence, Jeff went over the prescribed amount.
To determine the excess amount, subtract 32 from 85.33 which has a numerical value of 53.33 grams.
