Answer:
2^4/4^2 will be 1, I will explain after answering,
2 x 3^1 = 6
(4 - 2) ^2 = 4
First. Evaluate the exponents in the fraction above
2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16
4 x 4 = 16
and 16 over 16 would equal 1 whole
3 to the power of 1 means just 3 so 2 x 3 = 6 (easy multiplication)
Evaluate in the parenthesis first: 4 - 2 = 2 then 2 to the power of 2 would be 2 x 2 = 4
