k^3(k7/5)^-5 can be rewritten as (k^3) * (7k/5)^(-5) (must use parentheses around that "-5").

This would be better written as

k^3 k^3 * 5^5
------------ = -------------------
(7k/5)^5 7^5 * k^5

Then k^3 / k^5 reduces to 1 / k^2, and 5^5 / 7^5 reduces to 1 / 5^2, or 1 / 25.

Thus,

the answer in simplest form is

1
-----------
25k^2
