Choosing Containers Ramona knows that she will be very busy at work next week
and won't have time to do a lot of cook-
ing. She would like to make a big pot of
soup this week and freeze it to eat next
week Ramona has several cylindrical, re-
sealable, freezer-proof containers that mea-
sure 6 inches wide and 4.1 inches tall. If
she makes 6 quarts (346.5 cubic inches) of
soup, how many containers will she need?

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}  

5⋅2
