Write 3 1/2 hours : 36min as a ratio in its simplest form

Step-by-step explanation:

you can re-write 3 1/2 hours into minutes.

1 hr = 60 minutes,

Therefore:

3 1/2 hours = 3.5 times 60 = 210 minutes

So now we have the ratio:

3 1/2 hours : 36 minutes

210 minutes : 36 minutes

Both numbers can be divided by 6

210/6 = 35 and 36/6 = 6

So now we can re-write the ratio as :

35 : 6

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)
