3/4 to 2nd power

Ok, so we have

$${\left({\frac{{\mathtt{3}}}{{\mathtt{4}}}}\right)}^{{\mathtt{2}}}$$

Something raised to the second power really just means times itself two times, right?

Here's an example:

5² = 5*5 = 25

So, back to our question. We really just have to multiply 3/4 times 3/4!

$$\left({\frac{{\mathtt{3}}}{{\mathtt{4}}}}\right){\mathtt{\,\times\,}}\left({\frac{{\mathtt{3}}}{{\mathtt{4}}}}\right)$$

Multiply the top and bottoms

$${\frac{{\mathtt{9}}}{{\mathtt{16}}}}$$

or

$${\mathtt{0.562\: \!5}}$$

And there we go! 3/4 to the second power is 9/16 or 0.5625.

Answer: 3/4*3/4=9/16=0.5625
