All you need to do is solve it
[tex] \frac{1}{2} ^{2} [/tex] or [tex] \frac{1}{2} x \frac{1}{2} [/tex]
When solved your answer is 0.25 or 1/4
------------------------
What I did to solve it was....
1. Divide top fraction by bottom fraction to get decimal
1 ÷ 2 = 0.5
2. Then multiply 0.5 by its self (the same as putting it to the ^2)
0.5 x 0.5 = 0.25
