A rectangular area of land is being sold off in smaller pieces. The total area of the land is 2^15 square miles. The pieces being sold are 8^3 square miles in size. How many smaller pieces of land can be sold at the stated size? Compute the actual number of pieces.
total area of the rectangular land = 2^15 sq. miles
= 32768 sq. miles
total area of the pieces being sold = 8^3 sq. miles
= 512 sq. miles
now total no. of pieces = total area of the land / the area of samaller land that's being sold
= 32768 / 512
= 64
so the actual number of pieces is 64
Calculating the number of pieces:
\(=\frac{\text{land area}}{ \text{solding area of smaller land}} \\\\= \frac{32768}{512}\\\\= 64\)
Therefore, the actual number of pieces is "64".
