Question

Which expression is equivalent to the one below?
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 exponentiation. Specifically, since the number \( 1.5 \) is being multiplied by itself 6 times, it can be expressed as:

\[
1.5^6
\]

So the correct equivalent expression from the provided options is:

**B: \( 1.5 \) to the 6th power**
