Question

Evaluate 3^-1 times (4 times 6) times 2^-3

Answer 1

1

Explanation:

3^-1 times (4 times 6) times 2^-3 can be written as:

`3^(-1) . (4` ×
`6) . 2^(-3)`

Now we can change the negative powers into positive powers by taking a reciprocal of that term to get:

`(1)/(3) .`
`(4` ×
`6) . (1)/(2^(3) )`

`(1)/(3) . 24 . (1)/(8)` =
`1`

The expression is simplified where the values in the fractions get cancelled by each other to give 1.

Answer 2

3^-1 * (4 *6) * 2^-3

1/3 * (24) * 1/8

1/24 * 24
