Your answer :

(4³)/(4³) = (64)/(64) = 0.

Well, you must have really liked the idea that 4³ divided by 4³ equals 4⁰. But don’t let it throw you.

All you really have to do here is to divide the number 64 by itself. Any number divided by itself equals 1, doesn’t it? So

(4³)/(4³) = (64)/(64) = 1.

Now return to Page 61 and try again.
