Practice makes perfect

The expression ( 34)^3, or 34 to the third power, can be written as the product of three 34 terms.

(3/4)^3

Rewrite (3/4)^3 as (3/4)* (3/4)* (3/4)

(3/4)* (3/4)* (3/4)

Multiply fractions

3*3*3/4*4*4

Multiply

27/64

Using a calculator, we can either enter ( 34)^3 or 34* 34* 34. Both expressions give us the same answer.
