Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
3^-1 times (4 times 6) times 2^-3 can be written as:
[tex]3^{-1} . (4[/tex] × [tex]6) . 2^{-3}[/tex]
Now we can change the negative powers into positive powers by taking a reciprocal of that term to get:
[tex]\frac{1}{3} . [/tex] [tex](4[/tex] × [tex]6) . \frac{1}{2^{3} }[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{3} . 24 . \frac{1}{8}[/tex] = [tex]1[/tex]
The expression is simplified where the values in the fractions get cancelled by each other to give 1.
