Remember that according to the order of operations, you'll need to evaluate the powers before dividing.

16.25

Practice makes perfect
To find the value of the expression, substitute a= 8, b= 4, and c= 16 and then simplify. Make sure that you evaluate according to the order of operations.
c^2/b^2 + b^2/a^2
16^2/4^2 + 4^2/8^2
256/16 + 16/64
16 + 0.25
16.25
The expression is equal to 16.25.
