Respuesta :
Answer: 1/2 or 0.5
Steps:
First, find the quotient.
• Remember when dividing the same bases with different exponents, you subtract the exponents and keep the base.
They both have a base of 2 so subtract the exponents.
2-3= -1
= 2^-1
Next, use properties of exponents to eliminate the negative exponent.
2^-1 = 1/2^1
= 1/2
