Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Using law of indices
25\(\frac{1}{2}\) x 8\(\frac{-2}{3}\)
= √25 x (\(\sqrt[3]{8}\)) -2
= 5 x 2-2
= 5 x \(\frac{1}{2^2}\) =
\(\frac{5}{4}\) = \(\frac{11}{4}\)
Using law of indices
25\(\frac{1}{2}\) x 8\(\frac{-2}{3}\)
= √25 x (\(\sqrt[3]{8}\)) -2
= 5 x 2-2
= 5 x \(\frac{1}{2^2}\) =
\(\frac{5}{4}\) = \(\frac{11}{4}\)
