MCQ
Simplify $2^7\times\big(\frac{1}{8}\big)$ and write the answer in exponent form:
  • A
    $2^{24}$
  • $2^4$
  • C
    $2^3$
  • D
    $2^5$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$2^4$
B.  $2^4$
Solution:
$2^7\times\big(\frac{1}{8}\big)=2^7\times\Big(\frac{1}{2\times2\times2}\Big)$
$=2^7\times\frac{1}{2^3}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{2^3}=2^{-3}$
$\Rightarrow2^7\times2^{-3}$ $ (\text{a}^\text{m} × \text{a}^\text{n} = \text{a}^{m+n})$
$= 2^{7+(-3)} $
$=2^4$
