Math Problem Statement

9 ⋅ 3^−3

Solution

To solve the expression 9339 \cdot 3^{-3}, we need to first deal with the exponent and then multiply.

The expression 333^{-3} means 133\frac{1}{3^3}. Calculating 333^3, we have:

33=333=273^3 = 3 \cdot 3 \cdot 3 = 27

Thus, 33=1273^{-3} = \frac{1}{27}.

Now, multiply 99 by 127\frac{1}{27}:

9127=9279 \cdot \frac{1}{27} = \frac{9}{27}

Simplify 927\frac{9}{27} by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 9:

927=13\frac{9}{27} = \frac{1}{3}

Therefore, the result of 9339 \cdot 3^{-3} is 13\frac{1}{3}.
