Answer 1

To evaluate \( 6.9 - 2^0 \), we first need to calculate \( 2^0 \).

Any number raised to the power of 0 is 1. Therefore:

\[ 2^0 = 1 \]

Now substitute back into the expression:

\[ 6.9 - 2^0 = 6.9 - 1 \]

Calculate this:

\[ 6.9 - 1 = 5.9 \]

So the value of \( 6.9 - 2^0 \) is \( 5.9 \).

The correct response is:

5.9
