Your answer :
8.
You have it backwards. You used 2 as the base and 3 as the exponent. In other words, you wrote the number resulting from using 2 as a factor three times. But we said the base of the number was to be 3 and the exponent 2. So we want the number reached by using 3 as a factor 2 times. Now return to Page 24 and try again.
