To simplify the expression \( \frac{8}{8^2} \times 3 \), follow these steps:
-
Calculate \( 8^2 \): \[ 8^2 = 64 \]
-
Now substitute back into the expression: \[ \frac{8}{64} \times 3 \]
-
Simplify \( \frac{8}{64} \): \[ \frac{8}{64} = \frac{1}{8} \]
-
Now multiply by 3: \[ \frac{1}{8} \times 3 = \frac{3}{8} \]
Thus, the simplified expression is: \[ \frac{3}{8} \]
