Answer :

(125)^-2/3 / (8)^2/3                                  (as a^-1 = 1/a)
= 1/{(125)^2/3 * (8)^2/3}
= 1/{(5)^2 * (2)^2}
= 1/{25 * 4}
= 1/100
= 0.01

0.01

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{(125)^{-2/3} }{8^{2/3} }[/tex] is the given equation.

Now, As we know, [tex]a^{-b}   = \frac{1}{a^{b} }[/tex]

Also, 125 = 5 x 5 x  5 = [tex]5^{3}[/tex]

and , 8 =  2 x 2 x 2 = [tex]2^{3}[/tex]

So, the equation becomes :  [tex]\frac{(5^{3}) ^{-2/3} }{(2^{3}) ^{2/3} }[/tex]

On solving further,

⇒ we get [tex]\frac{5^{-2} }{2^{2} }  = \frac{1}{5^{2}\times  2^{2} }  = \frac{1}{25 \times 4} = \frac{1}{100}[/tex]

= 0.01
