Question

Simplify.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{9}{16}$ will be the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression in the question is $\frac{1}{2}+(\frac{3}{8}-\frac{1}{8})^{2}$

We will solve the parenthesis first.

$(\frac{3}{8}-\frac{1}{8})=\frac{(3-1)}{8}$

$=\frac{2}{8}$

$=\frac{1}{4}$

Now the expression becomes $\frac{1}{2}+(\frac{1}{4})^{2}$

We further solve this expression

$\frac{1}{2}+(\frac{1}{4})^{2}$ = $\frac{(8+1)}{16}$

$=\frac{9}{16}$

Answer will be $\frac{9}{16}$

Answer 2

1/2+(3/8−1/8)^2

= 1/2+(2/8)^2

= 1/2+(1/4)^2

= 1/2 + 1/16

= 8/16 + 1/16

= 9/16

Answer

9/16
