Comment on 32 and 27 with Exponents
from 2nd step -
2^45 3^30
(2^30) (2^15) / (3^30) 1
(0.66)^30 (2^15) 1
since 0.66^30 yields to very small number, quantity A will be
smaller than 1. hence B
Is this way ok!
Everything you did was
Everything you did was correct, but that strategy could get you in trouble.
Let's start from...
Quantity A: (0.66^30)(2^15)
Quantity B: 1
I agree that 0.66^30 is a very small number. However, 2^15 is a very big number. So, what you end up with is...
Quantity A: (a very small number)(a very big number)
Quantity B: 1
How can we be sure that Quantity A is less than 1?
I used the method of unit's
Can you tell us more about
Can you tell us more about your solution? It sounds as though you focused solely on the units digit of each quantity.
Is that correct?

Hello, the approach that I
instead of multiplying it by 32, 9 times. I worked with 32^3 and instead 27^10 I worked with 27^4.
Is this approach applicable?
It's hard for me to tell how
It's hard for me to tell how your solution looks.
What steps are you taking to replace 32^9 with 32^3, and to replace 27^10 with 27^4?
