Question

I need help with this 2 problems

Answer 1

Ok so when working with powers we basically times the number by itself. So since it's 0.5 to the third power, we'd multiply 0.5 by itself 3 times.

So 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 is equal to 0.125

And for the second problem, what helps me is to turn the fraction into a decimal. To do that you divide the numerator by the denominator

1 divided by 8 is 0.125

So keep in mind 1/8 is the same as 0.125.

So 0.125 multiplied by 0.125 is 0.015625

But if you want to keep it as a fraction

1/8 multiplied by 1/8 is 1/64.

I hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Just multiply .5 three times and 1/8 two time
