The expanded form is
5

Answer 1

A, C, D, F

Explanation:

Given the expression : (3/5)³

Recall :

a^b where, a = base ; b = exponent

In ; (3/5)^3

Base = 3/5 ; exponent = 3

Similarly ;

a^b = a in b places

(3/5)^3 = (3/5) * (3/5) * (3/5)

(3/5) * (3/5) * (3/5) = (3*3*3) / (5*5*5) = 27/125

Hence, A, C, D and F are all correct
