The equation is \(5^{3}\) × \(5^{-2}\)
First, you need to solve the bases/exponents
\(5^{3}\) is 5×5×5=125
Then you solve the second base/exponent but know that with negative exponents, you divide 1 by the number rather than multiplying
\(5^{-2}\)= 1÷5÷5=.04
So now the equation is 125×.04=5
Answer: 5
