Answer : 1

Answer 2

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

3^-1 times (4 times 6) times 2^-3 can be written as:

$3^{-1} . (4$ × $6) . 2^{-3}$

Now we can change the negative powers into positive powers by taking a reciprocal of that term to get:

$\frac{1}{3} .$  $(4$ × $6) . \frac{1}{2^{3} }$

$\frac{1}{3} . 24 . \frac{1}{8}$ = $1$

The expression is simplified where the values in the fractions get cancelled by each other to give 1.
