I mostly need help with Part C

Answer 1

so 5
then 5 times 5
then 5 times 5 times 5
so it seems that for x rounds, there will be 5^x 

A: 4 rounds so 5^4=625 photos
B. see how many times 5 goes into 78125. the answer is 7 so 7 rounds
C. 1 million=1,000,000 so try big numbers
5^10=9,765,625 too big
5^9=1,9,53,125 too big
5^8=390625 too small
the minimum is 5^9 or 9 rounds

A:4
B:7
C:9
