  1. 1) If he repeated the action 12 times, to find the answer you would have to do 3 to the power of 12 to find the answer. Which is 531 441.

    2)7^10= 282 475 249
    7^11= 1 977 326 743, If you divide 7^11 by 7^10 you will get 7 which is the answer. You can also tell just by looking. Since 7^11's exponent is one higher, and the base number is 7, you know the answer is seven.

    That is how to solve the questions if you are having any trouble.
