Answer:
(-1)/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify the following:
(-2)^3×3^0/4^2
4^2 = 16:
((-2)^3×3^0)/16
3^0 = 1:
(-2)^3/16
(-2)^3 = (-1)^3×2^3 = -2^3:
(-2^3)/16
2^3 = 2×2^2:
(-2×2^2)/16
2^2 = 4:
(-2×4)/16
2×4 = 8:
(-8)/16
The gcd of -8 and 16 is 8, so (-8)/16 = (8 (-1))/(8×2) = 8/8×(-1)/2 = (-1)/2:
