Within each set of brackets, simplify the exponents as follows:
(3 raised to the power of 2) = 32 = 9.
24 = 16 (two to the fourth power).
64 is equal to 1296 (6 multiplied by 4)
Whenever a number is raised to the power of 0, it equals one.
Reintroduce the values that have been simplified into the expression:
(9 × 16) ÷ (1296 × 1)
Multiply the number inside the brackets: 144 1296.
144 divided by 1296 equals 1/9, or 0.1111 (rounded to four decimal places).
Answer:1/9 or 0.111
