To simplify the fraction we can first calculate the powered number:

1/8(4/3)^2
= 1/8 (4×4/3×3)
=1/8 (16/9)

We can then multiply the numbers:

1/8×16/9
=2/9

Therefore the answer is 2/9.
Hope it helps!

Explanation:

1/8 * (4/3) ^2

The numerator is 4*4 =16

The denominator is 8*3*3 = 72

We can divide the top and bottom by 8
