If 48c = 3√47, what is the value of c?

Correct answer: D. 7/24

  • A. 7/20
  • B. 7/10
  • C. 7/15
  • D. 7/24

Explanation

The correct answer is 7/24. Begin by expressing the cube root as a fractional exponent: 3√47 becomes 47/3. Equate this to the left side of the equation, 48c. This gives us the equation 8c = 7/3. Solve for c by dividing both sides by 8, resulting in c = 7/24.Other options are incorrect due to errors in converting the root to a fractional exponent or errors in dividing the equation.
