Answer:
See below for explanation...
Step-by-step explanation:
A fraction gets smaller because raising a value to an exponent means multiplying it by itself however many times depending on the exponent.
EX: 2³ means 2 times itself 3 times, or 2 times 2 times 2 = 8
With fractions we are multiplying a fraction by itself however many times, so we have a fraction of a fraction, or a piece of a piece, which would keep getting smaller
EX: (1/4)³ is one-fourth times itself 3 times, or one-fourth of one-forth of one-forth
so we get a smaller piece each time..
(1/4)³ = 1/64
