Final answer:

The expression 34/3 should first be calculated as 3 raised to the power of 4, then divided by 3, resulting in 27. The given options do not include the correct result. The correct answer is 27, which should be 'None of the above' if given as an option.

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate the expression 34/3, it's important to understand that the question seems to be incorrectly typed. The correct interpretation appears to be evaluating 3 raised to the power of 4, and then divided by 3. To approach this, one must calculate 34 first which is 3 × 3 × 3 × 3, equaling 81. This result is then divided by 3 to get 81/3, which equals 27.

The options given seem to be for a different question since none of them match the result of 27. If the expression was instead meant to be another base or exponent similar to examples shown in the information such as 337/217 or 34/3 in scientific notation problems, the approach would vary depending on the actual numbers given. However, based on the question as initially presented, none of the options A) 7 B) 49 C) 2401 D) Not a real number is the correct answer to the evaluated expression of 34/3 given our understanding of the problem.

The correct option, which is not in the given choices, would be 'None of the above', since 27 is the result of 34/3. To express any number in scientific notation, if required, remember that the format is a single digit (from 1 to 9), followed by a decimal point, and then the rest of the significant digits, multiplied by 10 raised to the appropriate power.
