Answer:


=(3)/(ac^3)

Explanation:

We have the expression:


3a^(-1)c^(-3)

We know that


x^(-1)=(1)/(x)

Then, we can write the expression using the positive expoents:


\begin{gathered} 3a^(-1)c^(-3) \\ =3\cdot(1)/(a^1)\cdot(1)/(c^3) \end{gathered}

Now, we can multiply the factors:


\begin{gathered} =(3\cdot1\cdot1)/(1\cdot a\cdot c^3) \\ =(3)/(ac^3) \end{gathered}
