To rewrite 1/8^-2, we need to apply the rule of negative exponents.
A negative exponent indicates that the base should be inverted. To do this, we move the base with the negative exponent to the denominator and change the sign of the exponent to positive.
Therefore, 1/8^-2 can be rewritten as (1)/(1/8)^2.
Simplifying further, we can square the reciprocal of 8, which is 1/8.
(1)/(1/8)^2 can be expressed as (1)/(1/64).
Hence, 1/8^-2 is equal to 1/64.
