1/6^8/3-2/3 What Do I Do?

HELPPP!!

First, disambiguate your expression. As it is written, it means

(1/6^8)/3 - 2/3 = -3359231/5038848

or do you mean

1/6^(8/3) - 2/3 = 1/∛1679616 - 2/3

or something else entirely? Formatting is not the browser's forte.

To solve this expression, you need to follow the order of operations, which is often remembered with the acronym PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division from left to right, and Addition and Subtraction from left to right).

Let's break down the expression step by step:

First, we'll start with the exponent: 6^8. Raise 6 to the power of 8.

6^8 = 6 * 6 * 6 * 6 * 6 * 6 * 6 * 6 = 1679616

Now, let's rewrite the expression with the updated exponent value:

1/1679616/3 - 2/3

Next, let's continue with the division from left to right:

1 ÷ 1679616 = 0.000000596

Now we can rewrite the expression again:

0.000000596/3 - 2/3

Finally, let's subtract the fractions:

(0.000000596 - 2)/3 = -1.999999801

Therefore, the value of the expression 1/6^8/3 - 2/3 is approximately -1.999999801.
