Question: 259
5. 23 × 23 × 23 =
- A. 26
- B. 29
- C. 227
- D. 89
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
B Remember, with exponents, you can write it out! 23 = 2 × 2 × 2 and 22 = 2 × 2, so you have (2 × 2 × 2) × (2 × 2 × 2) × (2 × 2). Count up the number of 2s that you have, which is 8, and make that number the new exponent: 28. The correct choice is (B). Alternatively, you can use MADSPM: when multiplying the same base, add the exponents. Simply add 3 + 3 + 2 = 8. The answer will be 28.
