A dog owner has an 8 2/3 pound bag of dog food. The owner feeds 3/8 of the bag of food to the dog. How much dog food does the owner use?

The answer is 8.29166666667

Rounded the answer is 8.3

Step-by-step explanation:

8 2/3 - 3/8=8.3

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)
