Question

solve the following : 1/2 ^-2 ÷1/2^-3​

Answer 1

Answer:

$2^{-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

= (1/2)^-2 ÷ (1/2)^-3

= 2² ÷ 2³

= 2²/2³

= $2^{2-3}$

= $2^{-1}$

Answer 2

Answer:

value of (1/2)⁻² ÷ (1/2)⁻³ is 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

given problem is

(1/2)⁻² ÷ (1/2)⁻³

let's solve powers first

for example , (1/n)⁻³ can be expressed as $n^3$

so, (1/2)⁻² ÷ (1/2)⁻³ can be written as :

$(2/1)^2$ ÷ $(2/1)^3$

⇒ 4 ÷ 8

⇒ 4/8 = 1/2 = 0.5

hence, the solution for (1/2)⁻² ÷ (1/2)⁻³ is  0.5
