A closet has a volume of 5^3 cubic feet. Which of the following is equal to 5^3?
A.)15
B.)25
C.)125
D.)243
What is 5 * 5 * 5?
5^3 =125
To determine which of the given options is equal to 5^3, we need to calculate 5 raised to the power of 3.
In general, raising a number to a power means multiplying the number by itself as many times as the exponent indicates. In this case, we need to multiply 5 by itself three times.
5^3 = 5 × 5 × 5 = 125.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.) 125.
