Answer: 1/5

Explanation:

In this case, you multiple the exponents together because you are raising a power to a power:

25^(-3/2 * 1/3)

25^(-3/6)

25^(-1/2)

Next, when the power is negative, we can get rid of it by changing the whole number to its reciprocal (divide the number by one):

1/(25^(1/2))

Now, when an exponent is a fraction, the numerator is what the base is raised to and the denominator is what the base is rooted to:

1/(sqrt(25))

Now, simplify:

1/5
