Question

How do you simplify (1/2)^4

Answer 1

1/16

Explanation:

Answer 2

`(1/2)^4=1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2=1/16=0.0625`

Since the first number is 1, it will remain 1 at the end. So we have to find the bottom number to the power of four.


`2^4=2*2*2*2`

This can be simplified to equal


`2^4=4*4`

Which equals to 16. So we know the final equation will be equal to 1/16
