Problem 3

Decide whether each equation is true or false, and explain how you know.

  1. \(9 \boldcdot 9 \boldcdot 3 = 3^5\)
  2. \(7 + 7 + 7 = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3\)
  3. \(\frac{1}{7} \boldcdot \frac{1}{7} \boldcdot \frac{1}{7} = \frac{3}{7}\)
  4. \(4^1 = 4 \boldcdot 1\)
  5. \(6 + 6 + 6 = 6^3\)
