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?


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?


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