Answer:

I'm guessing y is numerator and 5 is denominator. so y^2/25

Explanation:

so if you have the fraction y/5 and you need to square it or raise to the second power you get (y/5)^2. now using the properties of exponents when you get a fraction and need to raise it to a power you square the denominator and numerator which gets you y^2/25. now let's check if it works we can use 5 for y so (5/5)^2 is equal to 25/25 = 1. or (10/5)^2 which is 2^2 = 4. or 100/25 which is 4. so the equation works for the expression.
