When squaring a fraction, you can square the numerator and the denominator, and put the squares as a new fraction. (Square of numerator is the numerator, and you can guess where the denominator is.)

5 squared is 25, 3 squared is 9.

5/3 squared is 25/9.

If it's your homework learn from it.

 

Turn 5/3 into a decimal.

 

5/3 

 

$${\frac{{\mathtt{5}}}{{\mathtt{3}}}} = {\mathtt{1.666\: \!666\: \!666\: \!666\: \!666\: \!7}}$$

 

Now square it (times by it self)

 

$${\frac{{\mathtt{5}}}{{{\mathtt{3}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}}}} = {\frac{{\mathtt{5}}}{{\mathtt{9}}}} = {\mathtt{0.555\: \!555\: \!555\: \!555\: \!555\: \!6}}$$
