Question 426352: Hi,
I am having serious difficulties with this problem.
[(0.125)^(-2/3)] - [3*(150)^0] + [12(2)^(-2)]
Thank you for spending the time to help me solve it.

0.125 = 1/8. Anything raised to the zeroth power is 1. And a^-b = (1/a)^b
Therefore, this expression simplifies to
(1/8)^(-2/3) - 3*1 + 12(2)^(-2) -> 8^(2/3) - 3 + 12/(2)^2 -> 4 - 3 + 3 = 4
Answer: 4
