Question

How do I rewrite that as a fraction

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{1}{16}$

Step-by-step explanation:

When solving exponents with a negative exponent remember that it's not longer multiplication it's division and in order to divide you have to rewrite the exponent as a fraction and then solve the exponent.

$4^{-2}$

$=\frac{1}{4^2}=4\times4=16=\frac{1}{16}$

$=\frac{1}{16}$

Hope this helps.
