Answer:

Jeanie should have multiplied the base by itself five times.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

(0.2) superscript 5

= 0.2 + 0.2 + 0.2 + 0.2 + 0.2

= 0.2 × 5

= 1

The above solution is wrong

The correct solution is:

(0.2) superscript 5

= 0.2^5

= 0.2 × 0.2 × 0.2 × 0.2 × 0.2

= 0.00032

The true statement is:

Jeanie should have multiplied the base by itself five times.

The base is 0.2 multiplied by itself 5 times
