answer:
25x^(3)

steps to solve:

→ let's write this out as an equation instead of in word form. 5x to the power of 2 times 4x to the power of 3 divided by 4 is
(5^(2) * 4x^(3))/(4).

→ first, calculate the power of
5x^(2).
5x^(2) = 25, so now we have
(25^(2) * 4x^(3))/(4)

→ now, multiply the monomials.
25 * 4x^(3) = 100x^(3).


(100x^(3))/(4). we need to cross out the common factor, which is 4. 100 divided by 4 is 25. we're now left with
25x^(3).

so,
25x^(3) is the answer
