Answer: The value is
5(1)/(16).

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the value of the following exponent:


E=\left((2)/(3)\right)^(-4).

We will be using the following properties of exponents:


(i)~a^(-n)=(1)/(a^n),\\\\(ii)~\left((a)/(b)\right)^n=(a^n)/(b^n).

We have


E\\\\\\=\left((2)/(3)\right)^(-4)\\\\\\=\left((3)/(2)\right)^4\\\\\\=(3^4)/(2^4)\\\\\\=(81)/(16)\\\\\\=5(1)/(16).

Thus, the required value is
5(1)/(16).
