2 11/16 = 2.6875 as a decimal.
That's Your Answer! ^
Given:
The expression is

To find:
The expression in repeated multiplication form and then write the expression as a power.
Solution:
We have,

The repeated multiplication form of this expression is
![=[(-8)\cdot (-8)\cdot (-8)]\cdot [(-8)\cdot (-8)\cdot (-8)\cdot (-8)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5B%28-8%29%5Ccdot%20%28-8%29%5Ccdot%20%28-8%29%5D%5Ccdot%20%5B%28-8%29%5Ccdot%20%28-8%29%5Ccdot%20%28-8%29%5Ccdot%20%28-8%29%5D)

Clearly, (-8) is multiplied seven times by itself. So,

Therefore, the repeated multiplication form of the given expression is
and the expression as single power is
.
Distribute 5/7 through the parentheses and add like terms after.
Answer: 11/7x + 11/35y
