How much is 1/4 to the power of 2?

Exponent rules state that the exponent of any number represents how many times to use the number in a multiplication.

Answer: 1/4 to the power of 2 is 1/16 or 0.0625.

Let's solve the given question by using the exponent rules.

Explanation:

Given: 1/4 to the power of 2

According to the rule of exponent:

1/4 to the power of 2 can be written as (1/4)²

Here, 2 is the power of the expression and 1/4 is called the base.

Therefore, we can rewrite (1/4)² = 1/4 × 1/4

⇒ 1/4 × 1/4 = 1/16 or 0.0625.

Hence, the value of 1/4 to the power of 2 is 1/16 or 0.0625
