See the solution process below:

We can write this in radical form as:

#(9/16)^(1/2) = sqrt(9/16)#

We can then use this rule for radicals to rewrite the expression:

#sqrt(a/b) = sqrt(a)/sqrt(b)#

#sqrt(9/16) = sqrt(9)/sqrt(16) = +-3/4#

It's simple

Given #(9/16)^(1/2)->(9^(1/2)/16^(1/2))->+-3/4#
So Answer is #color(blue)(+-3/4)#.
