Question

Determine if true:
8^3 divided by 2=250

Answer 1

False

Explanation:

8^3=512

512 divded by 2=256

256=250

This is false.

Hence this equation is false

Answer 2

False

Explanation:

Given the following question:


`8^3`

To find if the solution is true, we must first convert the exponent into a whole number by multiplying three by itself, three times since three is the exponent.


`8^3`

`8^3=8*8*8`

`8*8=64`

`64*8=512`

Now divide:

`512`

`512/2=256`

`=256`

Which means the following statement 8^3 divided by 2 = 250 is indeed "false."

Hope this helps.
