Tom needs to plow 1.1 acres of land. If he can plow 5.5 acres in an hour, how many hours will it take? Help! (16 pts if you answer!)

Given:

Tom needs to plow 1.1 acres of land.

He can plow 5.5 acres in an hour.

To find:

The time taken by Tom to plow 1.1 acres of land.

Solution:

We have,

Time take by Tom to plow 5.5 acres = 1 hour

Time take by Tom to plow 1 acre = hour

Time take by Tom to plow 1.1 acres = hour

                                                           = hour

Therefore, the time taken by Tom to plow 1.1 acres of land is 0.2 hour.

since your problem is x^4 = 81, what you have to undeo is the "to the fourth power" part.

the inverse (opposite operation) of "to the fourth power" is "to the fourth root".

  (x^4) ^ ¼   = 81 ^ ¼  

  81 = 3^4     so (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ 1   = 3

by hand: (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ (4 x ¼) = 3 ^ 1   = 3   (when you take a power to a power, multiply the exponents.)

or, do it by calculator. one way of finding the fourth root is to use ^ (1/4)
