Question

is 2^2/2^3 is equivalent to 1/32

Answer 1

Yes, 2^2/2^3 is indeed equivalent to 1/32. To simplify this expression, we can use the rule of exponents which states that when dividing two numbers with the same base, you subtract the exponents.

In this case, 2^2 means 2 raised to the power of 2, which equals 4. Similarly, 2^3 means 2 raised to the power of 3, which equals 8.

So, 2^2/2^3 is equivalent to 4/8, which simplifies to 1/2.

However, 1/2 is not equal to 1/32, so there seems to be an error in the calculation.
