Question

#1 Billy stacked nine pieces of wood on top of one another. If each piece was 3/4 of a foot tall, how tall was the wood pile? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a foot.

#2 look at the photo

please help me as soon as you can it would be greatly appreciated I’m in a hurry.

Answer 1

a. 6.75 ft

b. Exponent on w is w^4

Explanation:

a. The best thing here is to work with decimals

each piece was 3/4 foot tall which means each piece is 0.75 ft tall

Now since he staked 9, the height of the wood pile would be 9 * 0.75 = 6.75 ft

b. Firstly let’s evaluate the denominator

That becomes; 2v^-3w^8 * v^4w = 2v^(-3+4)w^(8+1) = 2vw^9

So let’s now divide this by the numerator

Since we are concerned with only the exponent on w, we place w^13 over w^9 = w^(13-9) = w^4
