Simplify Mathematical Expression with Cubes

The question asks to simplify the following mathematical expression:

\( \frac{0.8 \times 0.8 \times 0.8 - 0.08 \times 0.08 \times 0.08}{8 \times 8 \times 8} \)

Rewriting the Expression

First, rewrite the expression using exponential notation:

\( \frac{(0.8)^3 - (0.08)^3}{8^3} \)

Applying Properties of Exponents

Notice that \(0.8 = 8 \times 10^{-1}\) and \(0.08 = 8 \times 10^{-2}\). Substitute these into the expression:

\( \frac{(8 \times 10^{-1})^3 - (8 \times 10^{-2})^3}{8^3} \)

Using the property \((a \times b)^n = a^n \times b^n\):

\( \frac{8^3 \times (10^{-1})^3 - 8^3 \times (10^{-2})^3}{8^3} \)

Using the property \((a^m)^n = a^{m \times n}\):

\( \frac{8^3 \times 10^{-3} - 8^3 \times 10^{-6}}{8^3} \)

Factoring and Simplifying

Factor out \(8^3\) from the numerator:

\( \frac{8^3 (10^{-3} - 10^{-6})}{8^3} \)

Cancel out the common factor \(8^3\):

\( 10^{-3} - 10^{-6} \)

Final Calculation

Convert the negative exponents to decimals:

\( 10^{-3} = \frac{1}{10^3} = \frac{1}{1000} = 0.001 \) \( 10^{-6} = \frac{1}{10^6} = \frac{1}{1000000} = 0.000001 \)

Perform the subtraction:

\( 0.001 - 0.000001 = 0.000999 \)

Conclusion

The simplified value of the expression is 0.000999.
