To solve for \( 27^{4/3} \), we can break it down as follows:
- Recognize that \( 27 = 3^3 \).
- Then, \( 27^{4/3} = (3^3)^{4/3} \).
Using the property of exponents \((a^m)^n = a^{m \cdot n}\):
\[ (3^3)^{4/3} = 3^{3 \cdot (4/3)} = 3^4 \]
Now calculate \( 3^4 \):
\[ 3^4 = 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 = 81 \]
Thus, \( 27^{4/3} = 81 \).
The correct response is:
