Find the value of \((243)^{0.16} \times (243)^{0.04}\).
Answer: B
When multiplying powers with the same base, we add the exponents.
The expression becomes \((243)^{0.16 + 0.04} = (243)^{0.20}\).
\(0.20\) as a fraction is \(20/100 = 1/5\).
So we need to find \((243)^{1/5}\), which is the fifth root of 243.
We know that \(3^5 = 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 = 243\).
Therefore, the value is 3.
