-4 ·4 ·6 ·6 ·6 ·6
A) 24 ·46 
B) 42 ·64

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To simplify this expression, we can multiply all the numbers together. 4 × 4 = 16, and 16 × 6 = 96. Therefore, we can simplify the expression as 6 × 6 × 96. 6 × 6 = 36, and 36 × 96 = 3,456, which is equivalent to 42 × 64. Therefore, the best choice is B. To simplify, we can group the 4s and the 6s separately then multiply them together: 
4 · 4 = 16
6 · 6 · 6 · 6 = 6^4 = 1296
So the final expression is 16 · 1296 = 20736, which is represented by choice B.
