HSPT Math Practice Test – Practice Exam & Math Questions, Prep Guide

To determine the value of 4 raised to the power of 3, you need to multiply 4 by itself three times. That is:

\[

4^3 = 4 \times 4 \times 4

\]

First, calculate \( 4 \times 4 \):

\[

4 \times 4 = 16

\]

Next, take that result and multiply it by 4 again:

\[

16 \times 4 = 64

\]

Thus, \( 4^3 \) equals 64. This is why the correct choice is aligned with the calculation resulting in 64. Other choices do not represent the outcome of \( 4^3 \) as verified through multiplication.
