how do i simplify this problem?
(2/3)^2/(4/2)/1/3

 

Hi Jena.

Use the mnemonic BEDMAS to remember which order to simplify things in:

(2/3)2/(4/2)/1/3

B = Brackets first:

(2/3)2/(2)/1/3

E = exponents next:

(4/9)/2/1/3

D = division next:

2 / 9 / 1 / 3
2 / 9 / 3
2 / 27.

That's the simplified answer. Is that what you expected? If not, check that there isn't a typo in the question you wrote us.

Hope this helps,
