Question

B. The area of another sheet of paper is 200 square inches. Write an equation that

gives the area, B, of this sheet of paper, in square inches, after being folded into
thirds n times.

Answer 1

The area, B, of a sheet of paper originally measuring 200 square inches, after being folded into thirds n times, is described by the equation B = 200 × (1/3)^n.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation that represents the area, B, of a sheet of paper after being folded into thirds n times, we need to recognize that each fold reduces the area of the paper by a factor of 3. Since the area of the paper is initially 200 square inches, folding it n times means dividing the area by 3, n times.

The equation is:

B = 200 × (⅓)^n

Where B is the final area in square inches, and n is the number of times the paper is folded into thirds.

Answer 2

200/3n

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a strangely worded question but you are dividing the paper in 3's n times so 3n will be part of the answer and you are dividing 200. So, the answer is 200/3n.
