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.
