Here is your question:


(1)/(2) ^(2)

When a question asks "a number to the second power", you have to multiply the number or fraction by itself. In this question, you have to multiply
(1)/(2) by itself.

When multiplying fractions, the result will be:


(Product\ of\ Numerator)/(Product\ of\ Denominator)

Multiply:


(1)/(2) * (1)/(2) = (1)/(4)

ANSWER:
(1)/(4)
