If there are 260 million American citizens and they eat an average of 4.1 pounds of shrimp per year, how many pounds of shrimp does the United States eat every year (show your work)?

The average annual per capita consumption of shrimp in the U.S. is now at four pounds. Farmed shrimp accounts for 55 percent of the shrimp produced globally.

Step-by-step explanation:

since your problem is x^4 = 81, what you have to undeo is the "to the fourth power" part.

the inverse (opposite operation) of "to the fourth power" is "to the fourth root".

  (x^4) ^ ¼   = 81 ^ ¼  

  81 = 3^4     so (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ 1   = 3

by hand: (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ (4 x ¼) = 3 ^ 1   = 3   (when you take a power to a power, multiply the exponents.)

or, do it by calculator. one way of finding the fourth root is to use ^ (1/4)

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is d. (1.2, -4.7) on edgn

hope this !
