Answer:

3rd option

Explanation:

One of our exponent rules tells us that
((x)/(y) )^(z) =
(x^(z) )/(y^(z) ). So, knowing that exponent rule, we know that it has to be the third option. But what if we didn't know that rule? Then how could we solve this?

We know that 3/2 = 1.5. Do some math and you can figure out that 1.5^3 is 3.375. If we were to evaluate expression number 3, we would get 27/8, which, if you were to further evaluate it, you would also get 3.375.

Let me know if you have any questions!
