Question

On a math test, Ana writes 9 as the solution to √/27.

a. Find the correct solution.
b. What error did Ana likely make on the test?
OA. Ana cubed 3.
OB. Ana multiplied 27 by 3.
OC. Ana cubed 27.
OD Ana divided by 2

Answer 1

The correct solution to the problem is 3√3. Ana likely made the error of cubing 3 instead of cubing 27.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct solution to the problem is √27 = √(3^3) = 3^(3/2) = 3√3.

The error Ana likely made on the test was option A. Ana cubed 3. This is incorrect because √27 is not equal to 3^3.

To find the correct solution, Ana needs to simplify the expression √27 by factoring the number 27 as 3 * 3 * 3 and then taking the square root of each factor.
