Tyler needs to get the windows in his new home cleaned. The cleaning company needs to know the total number of window panes before it can tell him how much the job will cost. There are 12 windows, each with four window panes across and four window panes down. Tyler can find the total number of window panes by multiplying the number of windows by the number of panes in each window. The total number of window panes is an expression with a whole-number exponent. Part A Write an expression with exponents to find the total number of panes in 12 windows Part B which operation should you preform first the expression 12 x 4^2

Answer 1

To find the number of window panes there are :

1. We have to find how much window panes are in each window
2. It will be (4 x4 ) = 16
3. But, due to the similarities involved in 4, we can raise 4 to the power of two.
4. We know that panels per window multiplied by the number of windows equals to the total number of planes.
5. Part A

Total number of windows = 12 x 4².

Part B

First, we have to solve the exponential 4² which will be equals to 16, then multiply by 12

12 x 16

192 Windows.
