Explain why (1/2)4 =1/16
\({ \left( \frac { 1 }{ 2 } \right) }^{ 4 }\\ \\ =\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \cdot \frac { 1 }{ 2 } \cdot \frac { 1 }{ 2 } \cdot \frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)\(\\ \\ =\frac { 1 }{ 2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2 } \\ \\ =\frac { 1 }{ 16 }\)
Step-by-step explanation:
It is because (1/2)^4 is equal to 1/21/21/2*1/2 which equals 1/16
