Let’s go step by step to solve each problem.

Part 1: Change multiplication expressions to exponents
Remember:
An exponent tells you how many times to multiply the base number by itself.
Example: 8³ = 8 × 8 × 8 → base is 8, exponent is 3 (because there are three 8s).
Now let’s do each one:
1. 3 × 3 × 3 × 3
→ There are four 3s being multiplied.
→ So it’s 3⁴
2. 6 × 6 × 6 × 6 × 6 × 6
→ Six 6s → 6⁶
3. 8 × 8 × 8
→ Three 8s → 8³
4. 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2
→ Seven 2s → 2⁷
5. 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4
→ Five 4s → 4⁵
6. 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 × 1
→ Seven 1s → 1⁷

Part 2: Write out the expressions below
This means write them as repeated multiplication.
7. 9³
→ Base is 9, exponent is 3 → multiply 9 by itself 3 times → 9 × 9 × 9
8. 10⁵
→ Multiply 10 by itself 5 times → 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10
9. 5⁴
→ Multiply 5 by itself 4 times → 5 × 5 × 5 × 5
10. 12⁶
→ Multiply 12 by itself 6 times → 12 × 12 × 12 × 12 × 12 × 12

Final Answer:
1. 3⁴
2. 6⁶
3. 8³
4. 2⁷
5. 4⁵
6. 1⁷
7. 9 × 9 × 9
8. 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10
9. 5 × 5 × 5 × 5
10. 12 × 12 × 12 × 12 × 12 × 12
