Answer

$3\frac{1}{2}$

Work Step by Step

$(\frac{3}{2})^{3}+(\frac{1}{2})^{3}$ $=\frac{3^{3}}{2^{3}}+\frac{1^{3}}{2^{3}}$ $=\frac{3\times3\times3}{2\times2\times2}+\frac{1\times1\times1}{2\times2\times2}$ $=\frac{9\times3}{4\times2}+\frac{1\times1}{4\times2}$ $=\frac{27}{8}+\frac{1}{8}$ $=\frac{28}{8}$ $=3\frac{4}{8}$ $=3\frac{1}{2}$
