$\frac{49}{144}$ $49/144$

${(\frac{7}{12})}^{2} = \frac{7}{12} \times \frac{7}{12}$ $(7/12)^2=7/12xx7/12$

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.

$= \frac{7 \times 7}{12 \times 12} = \frac{7^{2}}{12^{2}} = \frac{49}{144}$ $=(7xx7)/(12xx12)=7^2/12^2=49/144$
