1/414 =0.25=0.25

Explanation:

(8^(-1/3))^2(813)2

we know,
8^(-1/3) = 1/2813=12 by applying exponent rule i.e a^-b =1/(a^bab=1ab =1/8^(1/3)=1813 and 8^(1/3) = 2813=2

So,
(1/2)^2(12)2

1/414 = 0.250.25

1/414

Very slightly different approach!

Explanation:

Write as: " "8^(-1/3)xx8^(-1/3) = 8^(-2/3) = 1/(root(3)(8^2)) = 1/4 813×813=823=1382=14
