A carpenter needs 36 screws that are 1.5 inches long, 24 screws that are 2 inches long, and 12 screws that are 2.5 inches long. There are three different sized screws shown. The screws are marked two and a half inches, two inches, and one and a half inches. What is the ratio of 1.5-inch screws to 2.5-inch screws, written in three different ways? Do not reduce.

since your problem is x^4 = 81, what you have to undeo is the "to the fourth power" part.

the inverse (opposite operation) of "to the fourth power" is "to the fourth root".

  (x^4) ^ ¼   = 81 ^ ¼  

  81 = 3^4     so (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ 1   = 3

by hand: (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ (4 x ¼) = 3 ^ 1   = 3   (when you take a power to a power, multiply the exponents.)

or, do it by calculator. one way of finding the fourth root is to use ^ (1/4)

for a it would be 24 children.

for b i don't understand the question. is it saying for each individual person they pick 5 reds to 7 greens or is it the whole group. clarify and i hope this can you.
