Arectangular 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 8^3 square miles in size. how many smaller pieces of land can be sold at the stated size? compute the actual number of pieces.

Total area of the rectangular land = 2^15 sq. miles
                                                     = 32768 sq. miles

total area of the pieces being sold = 8^3 sq. miles
                                                       = 512 sq. miles

now total no. of pieces = total area of the land / the area of samaller land that's                                                                                     being sold
                                     = 32768 / 512
                                     = 64

so the actual number of pieces is 64
