Solve for the missing values in the given equations: 522=\frac{-5}{2^{2}}=\square and (23)3=\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right)^{3}=\square.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. We need to evaluate the expression 522\frac{-5}{2^{2}}.
2. We need to evaluate the expression (23)3\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right)^{3}.

STEP 2

First, we will solve the expression 522\frac{-5}{2^{2}}. We need to calculate the square of 2, which is the denominator.
22=2×22^{2} = 2 \times 2

STEP 3

Calculate the square of 2.
22=42^{2} = 4

STEP 4

Now, divide the numerator by the square of 2.
522=54\frac{-5}{2^{2}} = \frac{-5}{4}

STEP 5

The expression simplifies to the fraction 54\frac{-5}{4}. This is the final answer for the first expression.
522=54\frac{-5}{2^{2}} = \frac{-5}{4}

STEP 6

Next, we will solve the expression (23)3\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right)^{3}. We need to raise the fraction 23-\frac{2}{3} to the power of 3.
(23)3=23×23×23\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right)^{3} = -\frac{2}{3} \times -\frac{2}{3} \times -\frac{2}{3}

STEP 7

First, calculate the square of 23-\frac{2}{3}.
(23)2=(23)×(23)\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right)^{2} = \left(-\frac{2}{3}\right) \times \left(-\frac{2}{3}\right)

STEP 8

Calculate the square of 23-\frac{2}{3}.
(23)2=2×23×3=49\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right)^{2} = \frac{2 \times 2}{3 \times 3} = \frac{4}{9}

STEP 9

Now, multiply the result by 23-\frac{2}{3} to get the cube.
(23)3=49×23\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right)^{3} = \frac{4}{9} \times -\frac{2}{3}

STEP 10

Multiply the numerators and the denominators separately.
(23)3=4×29×3\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right)^{3} = \frac{4 \times -2}{9 \times 3}

STEP 11

Calculate the multiplication.
(23)3=827\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right)^{3} = \frac{-8}{27}

STEP 12

The expression simplifies to the fraction 827\frac{-8}{27}. This is the final answer for the second expression.
(23)3=827\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right)^{3} = \frac{-8}{27}
The solutions are: 522=54\frac{-5}{2^{2}} = \frac{-5}{4} (23)3=827\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right)^{3} = \frac{-8}{27}
