A.3 the the 5th power miles


B.4 to the 3rd power miles


C.3 to the 4th power miles


D.3 to the 3rd power miles

Answer 1

C.

Explanation:

3 times 3 =9 and is 3 by the 2nd power. Then that times three is 27 which is 3 to the third power. Now it’s time to find out where Eddie is compared to the library. Then that times 3 is 3 to the fourth power. So that’s how far Eddie is. He is 81 miles away.
