To determine which expression is equal to 243, we can evaluate each option to see if they result in the same value.
Let's evaluate each expression:
1. 3^7 = 3 * 3 * 3 * 3 * 3 * 3 * 3 = 2187
2. 3^5 = 3 * 3 * 3 * 3 * 3 = 243
3. 7^3 = 7 * 7 * 7 = 343
4. 5^3 = 5 * 5 * 5 = 125
The expression that is equal to 243 is 3^5.
Therefore, the correct option is "3^5".
