Answer 1

Since each box contains 12 of something and they are 3 different boxes you will use the power of 3. So since each has 12 the base number will be 12. the 3 different boxes will be your power.

12^3 is your answer

Answer 2

12^3 or 12 to the 3rd power

Explanation:

So there is a crate with 12 boxes, each box has 12 packages, and each package has 12 pencils.

That's 12 x 12 x 12 since 12 pencils x 12 packages x 12 boxes

And 12 x 12 x 12, in exponent form is 12^3
