Solve 0.5^2*0.5^2*0.5/0.5

$$\frac { 0.5 ^ { 2 } \times 0.5 ^ { 2 } \times 0.5 } { 0.5 }$$

Evaluate

$$0.0625$$

Solution Steps

To multiply powers of the same base, add their exponents. Add 2 and 2 to get 4.

$$\frac{0.5^{4}\times 0.5}{0.5}$$

To multiply powers of the same base, add their exponents. Add 4 and 1 to get 5.

$$\frac{0.5^{5}}{0.5}$$

To divide powers of the same base, subtract the denominator's exponent from the numerator's exponent. Subtract 1 from 5 to get 4.

$$0.5^{4}$$

Calculate 0.5 to the power of 4 and get 0.0625.

$$0.0625$$

Factor

$$\frac{1}{2 ^ {4}} = 0.0625$$
