1 answer

To find \( \frac{1}{6^3} \), we first calculate \( 6^3 \):

\[ 6^3 = 6 \times 6 \times 6 = 216 \]

Therefore, we have:

\[ \frac{1}{6^3} = \frac{1}{216} \]

Now let's compare \( \frac{1}{216} \) with the provided options:

  1. \( \frac{3}{1296} \)
  2. \( \frac{1}{216} \)
  3. \( \frac{3}{18} \)
  4. \( \frac{1}{9} \)

The second option, \( \frac{1}{216} \), matches our result.

Thus, the answer is:

\[ \frac{1}{216} \]
