Solution Steps

00:00 Simplify the following problem
00:04 According to the exponent laws, a fraction raised to the power (N)
00:07 equals the numerator and denominator, raised to the same power (N)
00:10 We will apply this formula to our exercise
00:14 Note that the numerator and denominator are products, so we'll be careful with parentheses
00:24 According to the exponent laws, a product raised entirely to the power of (N)
00:28 equals the product of each factor raised to the power of (N)
00:33 We will apply this formula to our exercise
00:42 This is the solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem (5×98×10)3\left(\frac{5 \times 9}{8 \times 10}\right)^3, we follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Apply the exponent rule for fractions. According to the rule (ab)n=anbn\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^n = \frac{a^n}{b^n}, we apply the cube to both the numerator and the denominator.
  • Step 2: Evaluate the numerator: (5×9)3(5 \times 9)^3.
  • Step 3: Evaluate the denominator: (8×10)3(8 \times 10)^3.

Now, let's execute these steps:

First, simplify the expression by applying the cubed exponent:
(5×98×10)3=(5×9)3(8×10)3 \left(\frac{5 \times 9}{8 \times 10}\right)^3 = \frac{(5 \times 9)^3}{(8 \times 10)^3}

Next, use the exponential rule that states (ab)n=an×bn(ab)^n = a^n \times b^n:
For the numerator:
(5×9)3=53×93(5 \times 9)^3 = 5^3 \times 9^3

For the denominator:
(8×10)3=83×103(8 \times 10)^3 = 8^3 \times 10^3

Thus, the entire expression simplifies to:
53×9383×103 \frac{5^3 \times 9^3}{8^3 \times 10^3}

The corresponding expression that matches this is, therefore,
53×9383×103 \frac{5^3 \times 9^3}{8^3 \times 10^3}

Hence, the correct answer is 53×9383×103\frac{5^3 \times 9^3}{8^3 \times 10^3}.

Answer

53×9283×103 \frac{5^3\times9^2}{8^3\times10^3}
