here is a riddle:
As i was going to Halifax,
I met a man with 7 sacks,
Every sack had seven cats,
Every cats had 7 kits,
Man,kits,cats , and sacks were going to Halifax?
how many kittens were there? show your work by using powers.
7^3+1?
7 stacks of 7 cats = 49 cats
Every cat (49) had 7 kits
7 x 49 = 343
put it into a power it gives you
7 ^ 3 + 1 = 344 were going to halifax
Hope this helped :)
