Question

You are taking a multiple-choice test that has eight questions. each of the questions has three answer choices, with one correct answer per question. if you select one of these three choices for each question and leave nothing blank, in how many ways can you answer the question?

Answer 1

Alright, so there are three answers. Start with 3, and for each question you answer, you can select three more, so it's 3*3 for two questions and so on, resulting in 3^8= 6561

This is assuming you mean how many ways can you answer the test, not the question
