Question
Sanchay put a 1 cm stick of gum through a (1 × 3–2) machine. How long was the stick when it came out?
Solution
If sanchay put a 1 cm stick of gum through a (1 × 3–2) machine.
Negation (–) sign in power shrews it is a shrinking machine.
So, `1 xx 1/3^2 = 1 xx 1/9 xx 1/9 cm`
Hence, `1/9 cm` stick came out.
