To simplify the expression (3/4)^2:
Step 1: Square the numerator and the denominator separately
(3/4)^2 = (3^2)/(4^2)
Step 2: Simplify the numerator and the denominator
(3^2) = 9
(4^2) = 16
Step 3: Write the simplified expression
(3/4)^2 = 9/16
So, the simplified value of (3/4)^2 is 9/16.
To calculate 3 over 4 to the 2nd power, you need to follow the order of operations, which is also known as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, and Addition and Subtraction).
First, calculate 4 to the power of 2:
4 ^ 2 = 4 * 4 = 16
Next, divide 3 by 16:
3 / 16 = 0.1875
So, the answer is 0.1875 or 3 over 16.
