Twenty pounds of strawberries are being shared equally by a group of friends. the equation 20 divided by 5=4 represents the division of strawberries

a. 4 represents the amount of pounds of strawberries each friend got.

b. 4 represents the number of friends who were sharing the strawberries.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to analize the information given in the exercise.

You know that the total amount of pounds of strawberries that are shared equally is:

a. Then if the group of people is formed by 5 friends, you need to divide the total pounds of strawberries that by 5 in order to calculate the amount of pounds of strawberries each one of them got.

If in the equation , 5 represents the number of people, then 4 represents the amount of pounds of strawberries each friend got.

b. If each person got 5 pounds of strawberries, you can calculate the number of friends who was sharing them by dividing the total pounds of strawberries by 5.

So, if in the equation ,  5 represents the pounds of strawberries per person, then 4 represents the number of friends who were sharing the strawberries.

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)
