Math Problem Statement

one over 5 to the negative 3

Solution

The expression you have is:

153\frac{1}{5^{-3}}

We can rewrite this using the property of exponents, which states that an=1ana^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n}, and vice versa.

Thus:

153=53\frac{1}{5^{-3}} = 5^{3}

Now, calculate 535^3:

53=5×5×5=1255^3 = 5 \times 5 \times 5 = 125

So, the value of 153\frac{1}{5^{-3}} is:

125125
