1.5 = 1 1/2 = 3/2
When there is a negative exponent, you find the reciprocal of the base, so therefore: 3/2 ^ -2 = 2/3 ^ 2
Then you square the numerator, then square the denominator: 2^2/3^2 = 4/9

Picking a month of the year in the day of the week (fundamental counting principle)

inysia [295]

Since you mentioned the fundamental counting principle, I assume you are looking for the total number of possibilities.

If you are picking a month, there are 12 options.
If you are selecting a day of the week, there are 7 options.

If you are doing both, you multiply the two numbers together.
12 x 7 = 84
