Ella is building a chicken coop. The area of the chicken coop is 40 square feet. Each chicken needs at least 3 square feet of space. How many chickens can the coop hold

the answer is 13.33 or just 13

Step-by-step explanation:

40 = space in total

3 = space per chicken

40 devided by 3 is 13.33

13 chickens can be held in the chicken coop?

Step-by-step explanation:

40 square feet divided by 3 square feet for each chicken -

40 / 3 = 13 1/3

HOWEVER, you cannot have 1/3 of a live chicken, can you?

so, you need to take off the 1/3, so that you can have a whole number of chickens, leaving you with 13 CHICKENS!

Happy Learning!

the answer is:

the answer is:

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!
