Question

find value of
$({ - \frac{2}{3} }^{2} ) \times ( { - \frac{2}{3} }^{2} )$
​

Answer 1

$( \frac{ - 2 ^{2} }{3} ) \times ( \frac{ - 2 ^{2} }{3} ) \\ = \frac{4}{3} \times \frac{4}{3} \\ since \: \: - 2 \times - 2 = 4 \: \: so \\ \frac{4 \times 4}{3 \times 3} \\ = \frac{16}{9} \\ = 1 \ \frac{7}{9}$

so, the answer is 16/9

Hope this helps you.
