but then what is next that is as far as i got
OpenStudy (igreen):
Okay, that gives us:
\(\dfrac{2^{-2}}{3^2}\)
Okay, is that it or do you have to simplify it more? @AndrewKaiser333
OpenStudy (andrewkaiser333):
more
OpenStudy (igreen):
\(2^{-2} = 0.25\)
\(3^2 = 9\)
\(\dfrac{0.25}{9}\)
Can you divide that?
OpenStudy (igreen):
Oh my bad that gives us:
\(2^{-2} - 3^2\)
\(0.25 - 9\)
