A power is two numbers that one is the base and the other is the power.

To calculate a power fraction, both the numerator and the denominator are multiplied the same, so:


\boldsymbol{\sf{\left((5)/(6)\right)^(2)=(5*5)/(6*6)=(25)/(36) }}

Since the fraction 25/36 does not have a half, that is, it is already in reduced form, so it is no longer possible to simplify it.
