For the first expression, we have 1.4², this can be expressed as 1.4×1.4 and then we get:
[tex]1.4^2=1.4\times1.4=1.96[/tex]For the second expression, 300 ÷ 2(0.5 + 4.5)² we must start by solving the sum inside the parenthesis, then we get:
300 ÷ 2(0.5 + 4.5)² = 300 ÷ 2(5)²
Then, solve the exponent on the right of the division symbol:
300 ÷ 2(5)² = 300 ÷ 2×25
Now, solve the multiplication
300 ÷ 2×25 = 300 ÷ 50
Now, we can solve the division
300 ÷ 50 = 6
Then, 300 ÷ 2(0.5 + 4.5)² = 6
For the last expression, we must start with the exponent:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{3}\div2(\frac{1}{2})^3 \\ \frac{1}{3}\div2\times\frac{1}{2^3} \\ \frac{1}{3}\div2\times\frac{1}{8}^{} \end{gathered}[/tex]Now we can solve the multiplication:
[tex]\frac{1}{3}\div2\times\frac{1}{8}^{}=\frac{1}{3}\div\frac{2}{8}^{}[/tex]In order to divide one fraction by another one we just have to keep the first fraction unchanged, change the ÷ for a × and flip the second fraction, like this:
[tex]\frac{1}{3}\div\frac{2}{8}^{}=\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{8}{2}=\frac{1\times8}{3\times2}=\frac{8}{6}=\frac{4}{3}[/tex]Then, the value of the last expression is 4/3
