Hello,
Another way to look at this is fifth root of 243.
If you don't have a scientific calculator you can do it by trial and error.
If you do 2 times 2 times 2 times 2 times 2 = 32 So we know that's not right
Let's try 3 times 3 times 3 times 3 times 3 = 243 Alright--the answer is 3
You're welcome,
