Column A Column B
(0.82)^2 (0.82)^3 (0.82)^6

The question asks if:
the quantity in Column A is greater;
if the quantity in Column B is greater;
if the two quantities are equal;
if the relationship cannot be determined from the information given.

The equation is (.82) squared multiplied by (.82) cubed or (.82) to the power of 6.
I thought the answer was that column B was greater, but the the online GRE test says A. If it is A then why?
I assumed that I could just look at it as similar bases so add the exponents in column A. The equivalent would be (.82) to the 5th. What did I do wrong?
