What is the value of \(\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{-3}\cdot\left(\frac{9}{4}\right)^{-1}\)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (6)
\(\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{-3}=\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^{3}=\frac{27}{8}\) and \(\left(\frac{9}{4}\right)^{-1}=\frac{4}{9}\), so the product is (6). In exams, invert the fraction for negative powers.
