Problem
What is 
?
Solution 1
We can synchronously multiply 
to the expresions both above and below the fraction bar. Thus,
![\[\frac{2^3+2^3}{2^{-3}+2^{-3}}\\=\frac{2^6+2^6}{1+1}\\={2^6}.\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/5/f/6/5f61712212b2338ec47df60099f80f0e4a58c157.png)
Hence, the fraction equals to 
.
Solution 2
We have
![\[\frac{2^3+2^3}{2^{-3}+2^{-3}} = \frac{8 + 8}{\frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{8}} = \frac{16}{\frac{1}{4}} = 16 \cdot 4 = 64,\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/2/f/7/2f746975ff2b7b39e12fbe1865ec81670932b221.png)
so our answer is 
.
