Answer 1

In th: p^3/5 * p^2/5 = p^5/5 add the exponents for multiplication)

p^5/5 is the same as p^1 or just p.

Answer 2

In the parenthesis: p^3/5 * p^2/5 = p^5/5 (You just add the exponents for multiplication)

p^5/5 is the same as p^1 or just p.

So now we have p^5 in our numerator and p^5 in our denominator. So that simplifies to 1.
