Question

`( (1)/(2))^(2)`
evaluate
can u show me the steps please

Answer 1

All you need to do is solve it

`(1)/(2) ^(2)` or
`(1)/(2)  x (1)/(2)`
When solved your answer is 0.25 or 1/4
------------------------
What I did to solve it was....

1. Divide top fraction by bottom fraction to get decimal
1 ÷ 2 = 0.5

2. Then multiply 0.5 by its self (the same as putting it to the ^2)
0.5 x 0.5 = 0.25
