Evaluate 2^3

  1. 6

  2. 8

  3. 9

  4. 27

The correct answer is: 27

2 to the power of 3 is the same as 2 multiplied by itself three times, which is equal to 8. Therefore, option B is the correct choice. Option A (6) is incorrect because 2 multiplied by itself yields 4, not 6. Option C (9) is incorrect because it is 3 to the power of 2, not 2 to the power of 3. Lastly, option D (27) is not the correct answer because it represents 3 to the power of 3.
