Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{1}{125}$ or 0.008

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two possible ways of solving this given problem.

Method 1:

Applying the Quotient to Power Rule of Exponents: $(\frac{a}{b})^{m} = \frac{a^{m}}{b^{m}}$

$\frac{1}{5}^{3} = \frac{1^{3}}{5^{3}}$ =  $\frac{1}{125}$.

Method 2:

$\frac{1}{5}^{3}$ is the same thing as:  $\frac{1}{5} * \frac{1}{5} *\frac{1}{5}$ = $\frac{1}{125}$ or 0.008.
