Question

Which expression is equivalent to 2^2×2/2^4

Answer 1

First step is to simplify the equation so that it makes our life easier! Since 2^2 is equivalent to 4, we can plug that into the equation. Then we can also simplify 2^4 to 16. Now it should look like this:

(4)(2)/16

Now we can solve. 4(2) = 8 so now we have 8/16. 8/16 simplifies to 1/8 when you divide the numerator and the denominator by 8. So there you go! Your final answer is 1/8! I really hope that helped you out, and happy holidays!
