Question

Explain why (1/2)4 =1/16

Answer 1

Explanation:

It is because (1/2)^4 is equal to 1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2 which equals 1/16

Answer 2

`{ \left( \frac { 1 }{ 2 } \right) }^( 4 )\\ \\ =\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \cdot \frac { 1 }{ 2 } \cdot \frac { 1 }{ 2 } \cdot \frac { 1 }{ 2 }`


`\\ \\ =\frac { 1 }{ 2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2 } \\ \\ =\frac { 1 }{ 16 }`
