Explanation:

Step1: Recall exponent - multiplication rule

The rule for \(a^n=a\times a\times\cdots\times a\) (\(n\) times). For \((\frac{1}{6})^2\), it means \(\frac{1}{6}\times\frac{1}{6}\).

Step2: Multiply the fractions

When multiplying fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. So \(\frac{1}{6}\times\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1\times1}{6\times6}=\frac{1}{36}\).

Answer:

Expanded Form: \(\frac{1}{6}*\frac{1}{6}\)
