Hey there!
5^10 • 5^5
5^10 ⬇️
= 5 • 5 • 5 • 5 • 5 • 5 • 5 • 5 • 5 • 5
= 25 • 25 • 25 • 25 • 25
= 625 • 625 • 25
= 390,625 • 25
= 9,765,625
5^5 ⬇️
= 5 • 5 • 5 • 5 • 5
= 25 • 25 • 5
= 625 • 5
= 3,125
9,765,625 • 3,125 = 30,517,578,125
Finding what is equivalent to: 30,517,578,125
Option A: 5^2 = 5 • 5 = 25 (CAN’T be the answer because it is TOO SMALL)
Option B: 5^5 = 5 • 5 • 5 • 5 • 5 = 3,125 (CAN’T be the answer because it is TOO SMALL)
Option C: 5^15 = 30,517,578,125 (CAN be the answer because it is equivalent to the given equation)
Option D: 5^50 (CAN’T be the answer because it is TOO BIG)
Answer: Option C. 5^15 ☑️
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
