Which expression is equivalent to the one below?

Question

1.5 x 1.5 x 1.5 x 1.5 x 1.5 x 1.5
Responses

A 1 point 5 plus 1 point 5 to the 5th power

B 1 point 5 to the 6th power

C 6 raised to the 1 point 5 power

D 6 times 1 point 5

Answer 1

The expression \( 1.5 \times 1.5 \times 1.5 \times 1.5 \times 1.5 \times 1.5 \) can be rewritten using exponent notation. Since there are six 1.5's being multiplied together, this is equivalent to \( 1.5^6 \).

From the choices provided, the correct equivalent expression is:

B. \( 1.5 \) to the \( 6 \)th power.
