4/3

Explanation:

As the power holds a negative, this means that we can put 1 over 9/16, which is equal to 16/9 leaving us with;

(16/9)^(1/2)

The power of 1/2 is also another way of writing the square root;

= sqrt (16/9)

From here you can find the square roots of 16 and 9, and giving you your final answer;

= 4/3
