Answer 2

`(1)/(125)` or 0.008

Explanation:

There are two possible ways of solving this given problem.

Method 1:

Applying the Quotient to Power Rule of Exponents:
`((a)/(b))^(m) = (a^(m))/(b^(m))`

`(1)/(5)^(3) = (1^(3))/(5^(3))` =
`(1)/(125)`.

Method 2:

`(1)/(5)^(3)` is the same thing as:
`(1)/(5) * (1)/(5) *(1)/(5)` =
`(1)/(125)` or 0.008.
