Answer:

3^-3

Explanation:

So first 81^-3/4 is cubing 81, finding the forth root, and then putting it on the denominator. Doing this you get 1/27.

Now you think, how do I get 3 to equal 27?

3^1 = 3

3^2 = 9

3^3 = 27

From here you just put a negative in front of the power, 3^-3, which puts the 27 on the bottom of the fraction, leaving you with 1/27, which is what we were trying to get.
