Hope it helps.

Answer 2

the number should Selena put in the box is, 36

Explanation:

Using the exponent rules:

`(ab)^n = a^nb^n`

Given the expression :

`(6h^5)^2`

Apply the exponent rules:

`6^2 \cdot (h^5)^2`

⇒
`36 \cdot h^(10)`

⇒
`36h^(10)`

Therefore, the number should Selena put in the box is, 36
