Choose the expression that is equal to the following:
27
To solve this problem, we'll focus on expressing the power 27 as a series of multiplications.
- Step 1: Identify the given power expression 27.
- Step 2: Convert 27 into a product of repeated multiplication. This involves writing 2 multiplied by itself for a total of 7 times.
- Step 3: The expanded form of 27 is 2×2×2×2×2×2×2.
By comparing this expanded form with the provided choices, we see that the correct expression is:
2⋅2⋅2⋅2⋅2⋅2⋅2
Therefore, the solution to the problem is the expression that matches this expanded multiplication form, which is the choice 1: 2⋅2⋅2⋅2⋅2⋅2⋅2.
2⋅2⋅2⋅2⋅2⋅2⋅2
