To simplify the expression 3 3/4 * 3 1/8 using the laws of exponents, follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.
3 3/4 can be written as (4*3 + 3)/4 = 15/4.
3 1/8 can be written as (8*3 + 1)/8 = 25/8.
Step 2: Multiply the two fractions together.
(15/4) * (25/8) = (15 * 25) / (4 * 8) = 375/32.
Step 3: Simplify the fraction, if possible.
In this case, 375/32 cannot be simplified further, so it remains as 375/32.
Therefore, the simplified form of 3 3/4 * 3 1/8 is 375/32.
