Question

Can someone match these in order correctly for me? Please do it in text not in images I can't see those as those are blocked for me!

Answer 1

Answers:

• 2^3 = 8
• 3^2 = 9
• 3^3 = 27
• 4^3 = 64
• 5^2 = 25
• 8^2 = 64

==============================================

Explanation:

The notation 5^2 is the same as writing $5^2$

The second number is the exponent and it tells us how many copies of the base to multiply together. In the example 5^2, we have two copies of 5 multiplied to get 5^2 = 5*5 = 25

As another example, 4^3 = 4*4*4 = 64. We have three copies of 4 multiplied due to the exponent 3. You can use a calculator for this, but I recommend doing this by hand to get practice.

Note how 4^3 = 64 and 8^2 = 64. So 64 is used twice (which is why we have two tiles labeled "64").

The tiles labeled 9, 12, 10, and 16 are never used since they don't have any matching exponential expression.
