Answer for screen readers
  1. ( \frac{27}{125} )
  2. ( 2401 )
  3. ( 1 )
  4. ( \frac{7}{2} )
  5. ( -\frac{5}{2} )
  6. ( -11 )
  7. ( 0.01 )

Steps to Solve

  1. Calculate (3/5)³
    Raise the fraction to the power of three:
    $$ \left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^3 = \frac{3^3}{5^3} = \frac{27}{125} $$

  2. Calculate (-7)⁴
    Raise -7 to the power of four:
    $$ (-7)^4 = 7^4 = 2401 $$

  3. Calculate (9/4) × (2/3)²
    First, calculate $(2/3)²$ and then multiply:
    $$ (2/3)^2 = \frac{2^2}{3^2} = \frac{4}{9} $$
    Then multiply:
    $$ \frac{9}{4} \times \frac{4}{9} = 1 $$

  4. Calculate 2 (7/9) ÷ (−1 (2/3))²
    First, find $(−1 \cdot (2/3))²$:
    $$ (-1 \cdot \frac{2}{3})^2 = \left(-\frac{2}{3}\right)^2 = \frac{4}{9} $$
    Then divide:
    $$ 2 \cdot \frac{7}{9} \div \frac{4}{9} = 2 \cdot \frac{7}{9} \times \frac{9}{4} = \frac{14}{4} = \frac{7}{2} $$

  5. Calculate (−2/5)² × (−5/2)³
    Calculate each part separately:
    $$ (-\frac{2}{5})^2 = \frac{4}{25} $$
    $$ (-\frac{5}{2})^3 = -\frac{125}{8} $$
    Then multiply:
    $$ \frac{4}{25} \times -\frac{125}{8} = -\frac{500}{200} = -\frac{5}{2} $$

  6. Calculate (−2)⁴ + (−3)³
    First, calculate each term:
    $$ (-2)^4 = 16 $$
    $$ (-3)^3 = -27 $$
    Then add:
    $$ 16 - 27 = -11 $$

  7. Calculate (0.3)² × 3⁻²
    First, calculate $(0.3)²$:
    $$ (0.3)^2 = 0.09 $$
    Next, calculate $3^{-2}$:
    $$ 3^{-2} = \frac{1}{3^2} = \frac{1}{9} $$
    Then multiply:
    $$ 0.09 \times \frac{1}{9} = 0.01 $$

  1. ( \frac{27}{125} )
  2. ( 2401 )
  3. ( 1 )
  4. ( \frac{7}{2} )
  5. ( -\frac{5}{2} )
  6. ( -11 )
  7. ( 0.01 )

More Information

These calculations involve applying the properties of exponents, multiplying fractions, and understanding the signs of numbers when raised to powers.

Tips

  • Forgetting to square negative numbers, resulting in incorrect sign.
  • Miscalculating fractions during multiplication and division.
  • Not applying the order of operations correctly.
