Answer:

x=1/5

Explanation:


k^3=1/125\\


(k^3)^(1)/(3) =((1)/(125) )^(1)/(3)


k^3^(1)/(3) =(1)/(125^(1)/(3))


k=(1)/(5)

Hope this Helps :)

Answer:

1/5

Explanation:

Finding the unknown value in exponent form:

Prime factorize 125.

125 = 5 * 5 * 5 = 5³


\sf k^3 = (1)/(125)\\\\ k^3 = \left((1)/(5)\right)^3

As exponents are same, compare the bases,


\sf k = (1)/(5)
