Answer:

54.4

Explanation:

We begin with the expression:


((4)/(2) )^2*3.4*4

First, we can simplify the fraction within the parenthesis


(2)^2*3.4*4

Now we can apply the power


4*3.4*4

Lastly, we can multiply everything together

54.4

The original expression evaluates to 54.4 as shown in the first working.

_____
For some reason, 3.4 got transcribed to be 1.7 in the 3rd line of the second working. There is no math operation in the expression that requires 3.4 to be divided by 2.
