What is the answer to this 2²/2³

1/2 or 0.5

Steps:

First, find the quotient.

• Remember when dividing the same bases with different exponents, you subtract the exponents and keep the base.

They both have a base of 2 so subtract the exponents.

2-3= -1

= 2^-1

Next, use properties of exponents to eliminate the negative exponent.

2^-1 = 1/2^1

= 1/2
