Amanda had blueberry plants in her yard. in 2 days she picked a total of 3 pounds of blueberries. if she picked the same amount of blueberries each day, how many ounces of blueberries did amanda pick each day?

1 pound =16 oz
3 pounds=3*16=48 oz
3 pounds or 48 oz in 2 days
so
48 oz/2 days =24 oz/day
Amanda picked 24 oz each day

First step is to get rid of the square root. remember that a square root is the same as raising to the (1/2) power. see below: multiply exponents per exponent rules to get: remember you subtract exponents from the denominator and add exponents in the numerator so: simplify further: so a is the correct choice. if you don't understand this google exponent rules and it will you understand. look at the image results.
