c) −9 2/23
d) 8 8/23

Answer 1

To evaluate the expression 112 34 ÷ (−13)−23, calculate the exponent first, then perform the division and addition. The answer is -9 2/23.

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate the expression 112 34 ÷ (−13)−23, we need to follow the order of operations (PEMDAS or BIDMAS). First, we calculate the exponent (-23), and then we perform the division and addition.

Let's break down the steps:

1. Calculate the exponent: (-13)^(-23)
2. Perform the division: 11234 ÷ (-13)^(-23)
3. Perform the addition: 11234 ÷ (-13)^(-23) = -9 2/23

So, the answer is

C) -9 2/23
