Answer:

9^8

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of ants is

(total number of sections)(ants in each section).

let x be the total number of ants.

Substitute the given values.

x = (9^2)(9^6)

x = 9^(2+6) <= exponent rule: when multiplying exponents with the same base, add the exponents.

x = 9^8
