Suppose you have a stretching machine which could stretch almost anything. For example, if you put a 5 metre stick into a (× 4) stretching machine (as shown below), you get a 20 metre stick. Now if you put 10 cm carrot into a (× 4) machine, how long will it be when it comes out?


Two machines can be hooked together. When something is sent through this hook up, the output from the first machine becomes the input for the second. Which stretching machine does the same work as two (× 2) machines hooked together?



Similarly, repeater machine is a hypothetical machine which automatically enlarges items several times. For example, sending a piece of wire through a (× 24) machine is the same as putting it through a (× 2) machine four times. So, if you send a 3 cm piece of wire through a (× 24) machine, its length becomes 3 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 48 cm. It can also be written that a base (2) machine is being applied 4 times.


What will be the new length of a 4 cm strip inserted in the machine?


For the following repeater machines, how many times the base machine is applied and how much the total stretch is?


Find three repeater machines that will do the same work as a (× 64) machine. Draw them, or describe them using exponents.


In a shrinking machine, a piece of stick is compressed to reduce its length. If 9 cm long sandwich is put into the shrinking machine below, how many cm long will it be when it emerges?


Shikha has an order from a golf course designer to put palm trees through a (× 23) machine and then through a (× 33) machine. She thinks she can do the job with a single repeater machine. What single repeater machine should she use?


Neha needs to stretch some sticks to 252 times their original lengths, but her (× 25) machine is broken. Find a hook-up of two repeater machines that will do the same work as a (× 252) machine. To get started, think about the hookup you could use to replace the (× 25) machine.
