उत्तर
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.

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?
