If you have a Pelican that weigh 30lb how would you find the wingspan of the Pelican with the rational exponent equation L=2.43*W^0.3326
I would calculate 2.43*30^0.3326
You can type that into Google for an answer, if you don't have a hand calculator.
Here's how:

You need to be sure of what units to use for W (weight) and L (wingspan) with that formula. Presumably W is in feet.
The answer seems rather large, but Dalmation pelicans have wingspans of up to ten feet.
To find the wingspan of the Pelican using the given rational exponent equation, you need to substitute the weight of the Pelican into the equation and solve for the wingspan.
Let's plug in the weight of the Pelican, which is 30 lb, into the equation:
L = 2.43 * W^0.3326
Substituting the weight:
L = 2.43 * 30^0.3326
To evaluate 30^0.3326, we need to raise 30 to the power of 0.3326. To do this, you can use a calculator or a mathematical software.
Once you have the result of 30^0.3326, multiply it by 2.43 to get the wingspan (L) of the Pelican.
