Question

What is the value of the expression `(8^2)div(8^3)`?

Answer 1

See full evaluation below:

Explanation:

First, we can rewrite this problem as:

`8^2/8^3`

Now, we can use a rule of exponents to simplify this expression:

`x^color(red)(a)/x^color(blue)(b) = 1/x^(color(blue)(b)-color(red)(a))`

`8^2/8^3 -> 1/8^(3-2) -> 1/8^1 -> 1/8` or `0.125`
