Question

What is the value of the expression (1/6)^-1? Write your answer as simplified as possible.

Answer 1

Answer:

$6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that $a^{-b}=\frac{1}{a^b}$. Therefore, any number $n$ raised to the power of $-1$ will be  $\frac{1}{n^1}=\frac{1}{n}$ (the reciprocal of that number).

Thus, the value of the expression $\left (\frac{1}{6}\right)^{-1}$ is:

$\left (\frac{1}{\frac{1}{6}}\right )=\fbox{ 6 }$.
