Answer

$8$.

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $=(0.1)^3(20)^3$ Factor each term. $=(1\cdot 10^{-1})^3(2\cdot 10^1)^3$ Use the law of exponents $=a^n\cdot b^n=\left (a\cdot b\right )^n$ $=(1\cdot 10^{-1}\cdot 2\cdot 10)^3$ Use the law of exponents $=a^n\cdot a^m=a^{n+m}$ $=(1\cdot 2\cdot 10^{-1+1})^3$ Simplify. $=(2)^3$ Use $2^3 =8$. $=8$.
