Mrs. Brooks has two pieces of ribbon to make wreaths. One piece is 18 yards long and the other is 17 yards long. Each wreath requires 5 yards of uncut ribbon. How many wreaths can Mrs Brooks make?How do the remainders affect the number of wreaths she can make?

4x 20 is 80 but if ther machine is broken then there is none you have to redo the test

1.   an exact solution requires a radical solution - no decimal approximation.2. (a)4x^3 = 756x^3 = 756/4 = 189x =   cube root of 189 =   5.74   to nearest hundredth answer(b)   189 = 3*3*3*7   so we can write the cube root of 189 as 3∛7 answerchecking (a) 4*(5.74^3 =   756.48   which is very close(b)   4* ((3∛3)^3   = 4*189   = 756   - spot on! 3. i would use solution b because the original question asked for an exact solution.
