The final answer would be 64. We figure this out through the use of BIMDAS (Brackets, Indices, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction)

Begin with what is inside the brackets $(7-:7-:8)$ . This will equal 0.125 or $1/8$ . This will give us $2^3-:0.125$ .

Next we deal with indices, which in this case is $2^3$ . If we expand this we get $2*2*2$ which will equal 8.

Now we are at $8-:0.125$ or $8-:1/8$

This will produce a result of 64.
