Answer:

I don't see a correct answer. See below.

Explanation:

Thanks for clarifying the question. But if 27√3 is the correct expression, I don't see an answer option that fits.

√3 = 1.732

27*(1.732) = 46.77

But all the answer options are whole numbers. The presence of√3 makes it difficult to find an expression that would result in a whole number. Expressions such as:

27/√9 = 9, or

√27/√3 = 3

would be more consistent with producing a whole number result.

I hope this helps.
