$\large\textsf{Which expressions have a value of }\mathsf{\dfrac{16}{81}?\ }\large\textsf{Check ALL that APPLY. }$

$\mathsf{(\dfrac{2}{3})^4}\\\\\mathsf{= \bf \dfrac{2}{3}\times\dfrac{2}{3}\times\dfrac{2}{3}\times \dfrac{2}{3}}\\\\\mathsf{= \bf \dfrac{2\times2\times2\times2}{3\times3\times3\times3}}\\\\\mathsf{2\times2\times2\times2}\\\mathsf{2\times2 = \bf 4}\\\mathsf{4\times4= \bf 16}\\\\\mathsf{\dfrac{\bf 16}{3\times3\times3\times3}}\\\\\mathsf{3\times3\times3\times3}\\\mathsf{3\times3 = 9}\\\mathef{9\times9 = \bf 81}\\\\\mathsf{\dfrac{16}{\bf 81}}\\\\\mathsf{= \bf \dfrac{16}{81}}$

$\large\text{Option A. could POSSIBLY be your ANSWER}$

$\mathsf{(\dfrac{16}{3})^4}\\\\\mathsf{= \dfrac{16}{3}\times\dfrac{16}{3}\times\dfrac{16}{3}\times\dfrac{16}{3}}\\\\\mathsf{= \dfrac{16\times16\times16\times16}{3\times3\times3\times3}}\\\\\mathsf{16\times16\times16\times16}\\\mathsf{16\times16= \bf 256}\\\mathsf{256\times256 = \bf 65,536}\\\\\mathsf{\dfrac{\bf 65,536}{3\times3\times3\times3}}\\\\\mathsf{3\times3\times3\times3}\\\mathsf{3\times3 = \bf 9}\\\mathsf{9\times9 = \bf 81}\\\\\\\mathsf{\dfrac{65,536}{\bf 81}}\\\\\mathsf{\bf = \dfrac{65,536}{81}}$

$\large\text{Option B. CANNOT be your POSSIBLE ANSWER}$

$\mathsf{(\dfrac{4}{81})^2}\\\\\mathsf{=\dfrac{4}{81}\times\dfrac{4}{81}}\\\\\mathsf{= \dfrac{4\times4}{81\times81}}\\\\\mathsf{4\times4= \bf 16}\\\\\mathsf{\dfrac{\bf 16}{81\times81}}\\\\\mathsf{81\times81=\bf 6,561}\\\\\mathsf{\dfrac{16}{\bf 6,561}}\\\\\mathsf{= \bf \dfrac{16}{6,561}}$

$\large\text{Option C. CANNOT be your POSSIBLE ANSWER}$

$\mathsf{(\dfrac{4}{9})^2}\\\\\mathsf{= \dfrac{4}{9}\times \dfrac{4}{9}}\\\\\mathsf{= \dfrac{4\times4}{9\times9}}\\\\\mathsf{4\times4 = \bf 16}\\\\\mathsf{\dfrac{\bf 16}{9\times9}}\\\\\mathsf{9\times9 = \bf 81}\\\\\\\mathsf{\dfrac{16}{\bf 81}}\\\\\\\mathsf{= \bf \dfrac{16}{81}}$
