Homework Statement
I was looking at a solution for a practise question and in the last step they simplified
-[(0.02)^4]/[4(0.98)^4]
to
1/(4*49^4)
How do you do this without a calculator?
Any way to simplify this fraction without a calculator?

Great. For any others who were wondering, you don't need a calculator to see that .02/.98= 2/98= 1/49.
However the original form is negative and the final result is positive. Did you accidently drop the "-"?
