Answer:

Begin by simplifying the phrases within the brackets, beginning with the innermost brackets:

(2 x 3)^-1 = 1/6 (because 2 x 3 = 6, and the negative exponent flips the fraction)

1/2^3 = 1/8 (because 2^3 = 8)

So, (2x3)^-1x1/2^3 = 1/6 x 1/8 = 1/48

Next, simplify the expression outside the parentheses:

(3x2^2)^-2 = 1/(3x2^2)^2 = 1/(3^2 x 2^4) = 1/36 x 1/16 = 1/576

Now, substitute the simplified terms back into the original expression and simplify:

3x(1/48)x(1/576) = 1/768

So the final answer is 1/768.
