Answer:

C. 1/27

E. (1/3)^3

F. 3^(-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a fraction where the numerator and the denominator have the same base. Therefore, we can subtract the exponents to get:


(3^5)/(3^8)=3^(5-8)=3^(-3)

On the other hand, a negative exponent is also equivalent to:


3^(-3)=((1)/(3))^3

Solving this expression, we get


((1)/(3))^3=(1^3)/(3^3)=(1)/(27)

Therefore, the answers are:

C. 1/27

E. (1/3)^3

F. 3^(-3)
