Question

19. A rectangular area of land is being sold off in smaller pieces. The total area of the land is

2^15 square miles. The pieces being sold are 8 square miles in size. How many smaller pieces of
land can be sold at the stated size? Compute the actual number of pieces.

Answer 1

we can simply divide the total of 2¹⁵ by 8.

`2^(15)/ 8\implies \cfrac{2^(15)}{8}\implies \cfrac{2^(15)}{2^3}\implies 2^(15)\cdot 2^(-3)\implies 2^(15-3)\implies 2^(12)\implies 4096`
