If 4 8 c = 4 7 3 , what is the value of c ?

Question

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is 7 24 . An expression of the form a m n , where m and n are integers greater than 1 and a &#8805; 0 , is equivalent to a m n . Therefore, the expression on the right-hand side of the given equation, 4 7 3 , is equivalent to 4 7 3 . Thus, 4 8 c = 4 7 3 . It follows that 8 c = 7 3 . Dividing both sides of this equation by 8 yields c = 7 24 . Note that 7/24, .2916, .2917, 0.219, and 0.292 are examples of ways to enter a correct answer.
