jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

tell me what you get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\huge 2.5^3 =~ 2.5\times2.5\times2.5\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7.5

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

2.5^3 does NOT mean "2.5 times 3"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh... lol

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

it means what iambatman wrote out you have 3 copies of 2.5 multiplied together

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2.5x2.5x2.5=15.625
