Answer:

m = 1, n = 0

Explanation:

Given the division expression,


5^(m) ÷
5^(n) = 5

Using the Zero Exponent Rule,
a^(0) = 1, which essentially means that any nonzero number raised to zero equal to 1. We should apply this property to the divisor,
5^(n), so that you get a quotient of 1. Doing so leaves you with:


5^(m) ÷
5^(0) =
5^(m) ÷ 1 = 5

This makes it easier to determine that the value of m = 1, because raising a number to an exponent of 1 results to the same number. In other words,
5^(1) = 5.

Therefore:
5^(m) ÷
5^(n) =
5^(1) ÷
5^(0) = 5 ÷ 1 = 5.

Hence, the correct answers are: m = 1, and n = 0.
