Question

dentifying Repeated Multiplication
Which expressions show repeated multiplication? Check all that apply.
(1)(9)
(one-half) (one-half) (one-half)
(7)(7)(7)(7)
(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)
(9)(9)(9)(9)(9)(9)

Answer 1

The expressions that show repeated multiplication (the same factor multiplied more than once) are:

- (one-half)(one-half)(one-half) — this is (1/2)^3
- (7)(7)(7)(7) — this is 7^4
- (9)(9)(9)(9)(9)(9) — this is 9^6

(1)(9) and (2)(3)(4)(5)(6) do not show repeated multiplication because their factors are different.
