Cubic Fraction: 1/3 x 1/3 x 1/3 as a Fraction ================================================================ "=="
Have you ever wondered what happens when you multiply a fraction by itself three times? Specifically, what is the result of 1/3 x 1/3 x 1/3 as a fraction?
Multiplying Fractions
To multiply fractions, we need to follow a simple rule: multiply the numerators (numbers on top) and multiply the denominators (numbers at the bottom), then simplify the result.
Calculating 1/3 x 1/3 x 1/3
Let's follow the rule:
1/3 x 1/3 = 1/9 (multiply numerators: 1 x 1 = 1, multiply denominators: 3 x 3 = 9)
Now, multiply the result by 1/3 again:
1/9 x 1/3 = 1/27 (multiply numerators: 1 x 1 = 1, multiply denominators: 9 x 3 = 27)
So, 1/3 x 1/3 x 1/3 = 1/27.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the result of multiplying 1/3 by itself three times is 1/27. This exercise demonstrates the importance of following the rules of fraction multiplication to arrive at the correct answer.
