To simplify this expression, we follow the order of operations, also known as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, and Addition and Subtraction).
Since the exponent, 2^2, is inside parentheses, we calculate it first:
2^2 = 4
Now, we have 4/2^3. The exponent, 2^3, must be calculated next:
2^3 = 8
Finally, we divide 4 by 8:
4/8 = 0.5
Therefore, 2^2/2^3 = 0.5.

Apologies for the confusion. Let's simplify the expression to obtain a whole number.
2^2/2^3 = 4/8
Since 4 and 8 have a common factor of 4, we can simplify this expression further:
4/8 = (4/4) / (8/4) = 1/2
Therefore, 2^2/2^3 simplifies to 1/2, which is not a whole number.
