Use an exponent to condense the expression below. Then compute.

Question

8, times, 8
8×8

Answer 1

To condense the expression \( 8 \times 8 \) using an exponent, we can rewrite it as:

\[ 8^2 \]

Now, to compute \( 8^2 \):

\[ 8^2 = 8 \times 8 = 64 \]

So, \( 8 \times 8 \) condenses to \( 8^2 \) and computes to \( 64 \).
