Verified Answer :

In order to answer this question the parts must be broken down: 8^3 is
888 which equals 512 and 8^5 is 88888 which equals 32761.
512*32761 equals 16777216. 167772176 is greater than 1.

Answer: The student is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

\(8^3.8^5\)

Using the law of exponents, which states that,

\(a^m\times a^n=a^{m+n}\)

So, we apply this first,

\(8^3\times 8^5\\\\=8^{3+5}\\=8^8\\\\=16777216\)

which is obviously greater than 1.

Hence , the student is correct.
