Example 3: Problem Solving Application

A phone tree is used to contact families at Paul’s school. The secretary calls 4 families. Then each family calls 4 other families, and so on. How many families will be notified during the fourth round of calls?

Step 1: Understand the Problem

The answer will be the number of families called in the 4th round.

List the important information:

• The secretary calls 4 families.

• Each family calls 4 families.

Step 2: Make a Plan

You can draw a diagram to see how many calls are in each round.

Step 3: Solve

Notice that in each round, the number of calls is a power of 4.

1st round: 4 calls = 4 = 41

2nd round: 16 calls = 4 x 4 = 42

So during the 4th round, there will be 44 calls. 44 = 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 = 256

During the 4th round of calls, 256 families will be notified.

Step 4: Look Back

Drawing a diagram helps you see how to use exponents to solve the problem.

  1. Read each number: .
  2. Explain which has the greater value, oror neither.
