Answer:
Aida is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
A exponent that is a whole number greater than 1 means the number of times you write the base and use it in multiplication.
The base is 5. The exponent is 4.
That means write the base 4 times.
5 5 5 5
The operation between the bases is multiplication.
5 * 5 * 5 * 5
Now just multiply two numbers at a time from left to right until you do all the multiplications.
5 * 5 * 5 * 5 =
= 25 * 5 * 5
= 125 * 5
= 625
5^4 = 5 * 5 * 5 * 5 = 625
Aida is correct.
