Solution - Simplification or other simple results

Step  1  :

             9
 Simplify   ——
            16

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  (9
 (——)1) ÷ 2
  16

Step  2  :

 2.1     9 = 32

(9)¹ = (3²)¹ = 3²  2.2     16 = 2⁴ (16)¹ = (2⁴)¹ = 2⁴

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  32
  —— ÷ 2
  24

Step  3  :

         32      
 Divide  ——  by  2
         24      

Multiplying exponents :

 3.1    2⁴  multiplied by  2¹   = 2^{(4 + 1)} = 2⁵

Final result :

   9           
  —— = 0.28125 
  32
