Question

please help me​

Answer 1

Given:

• Haris owns 2⁶ toy cars.
• He gives an equal number of cars to 16 children.

To find:

• Number of cars each child gets.

Solution:

We are given that,

• Haris owns 2⁶ toy cars.
• He gives an equal number of cars to 16 children.

In order to find the number of cars received by each child, we will divide the total number of cars by the number of children. This would give us the number of cars received by each child.

16 can be written as 2⁴, in exponential form.

So,

2⁶ ÷ 2⁴

$\sf{2}^{6 - 4}$

$\bigstar {\mathfrak {\green {Using\ the\ law\ of\ indices,\ a^{m} \div a^{n} = a^{m-n}}}}$

= 2² = 4

Final answer:

$\boxed {\bf {\pink {Each\ child\ will\ receive\ 4\ toys.}}}$

We can solve this question through another method too.

Alternate method:

2⁶ can be written as 2×2×2×2×2×2 = 64

Now,

64÷16

= 4

Each child will receive 4 toys.
