उत्तर

According to the question, if we put a 5 m stick into a (× 4) stretching machine, then machine produces 20 m stick.

Similarly, if we put 10 cm carrot into a (× 4) stretching machine, then machine produce 10 × 4 = 40 cm stick.

Two machines can be hooked together. When something is sent through this hook up, the output from the first machine becomes the input for the second. Which two machines hooked together do the same work a (× 102) machine does? Is there more than one arrangement of two machines that will work?


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?


What will the following machine do to a 2 cm long piece of chalk?


Ajay had a 1 cm piece of gum. He put it through repeater machine given below and it came out `1/(100,000)` cm long. What is the missing value?


Neha needs to stretch some sticks to 252 times their original lengths, but her (× 25) machine is broken. Find a hook-up of two repeater machines that will do the same work as a (× 252) machine. To get started, think about the hookup you could use to replace the (× 25) machine.


The left column of the chart lists the lengths of input pieces of ribbon. Stretching machines are listed across the top. The other entries are the outputs for sending the input ribbon from that row through the machine from that column. Copy and complete the chart.
