When multiplying monomials, you multiply the coefficients and add the exponents of like bases. Here, $\frac{1}{8} \times -\frac{1}{3} = -\frac{1}{24}$ and $x^3 \times x^8 = x^{3+8} = x^{11}$, making the correct answer $-\frac{1}{24} x^{11}$.

Multiply the Monomials (18x3)(−13x8)\left( \frac { 1 } { 8 } x ^ { 3 } \right) \left( - \frac { 1 } { 3 } x ^ { 8 } \right)(81​x3)(−31​x8)
