Answer 1

1.
`\sqrt[0.4]{29} = 4,528.9236.`

2. Jenna bought 4 lbs of apples.

Explanation:

Step 1:

If a value x is to be rooted to a value of a, it will be equal to the value of x with an exponential
`(1)/(a)`.

So
`\sqrt[a]{x} = x^{(1)/(a) }`.

In the question,
`x = 29, a = 0.4`.

Substituting these values in the equation we get,

`\sqrt[0.4]{29} = 29^{(1)/(0.4) } = 29^(2.5) = 4,528.9236.`

Step 2:

Apples cost $2.75 per pound. Jenna paid $11 for apples.

To calculate how many pounds of apples Jenna bought, we divide the price for which apples were bought by the cost per pound.

The price for which apples were bought = $11.

The cost per pound = $2.75.

The number of pounds bought =
`(11)/(2.75) = 4.`

So Jenna bought 4 pounds of apples.
