Math Problem Statement

(27^3/9^5)

Solution

To simplify the expression (27395)\left(\frac{27^3}{9^5}\right), let's break it down:

  1. First, express 27 and 9 as powers of 3: 27=33and9=3227 = 3^3 \quad \text{and} \quad 9 = 3^2

  2. Now substitute these into the expression: (27395)=(33)3(32)5\left(\frac{27^3}{9^5}\right) = \frac{(3^3)^3}{(3^2)^5}

  3. Simplify the powers: (39)(310)=3910=31\frac{(3^9)}{(3^{10})} = 3^{9-10} = 3^{-1}

  4. Finally, simplify 313^{-1}: 31=133^{-1} = \frac{1}{3}

Thus, the simplified form of the expression is 13\frac{1}{3}.
