Solve 5³ ÷ 5² × 2³: Laws of Exponents Practice

$5^3:5^2\times2^3=$

In the first stage, let's calculate the powers of each of the terms:

$5^3=5\times5\times5=25\times5=125$

$5^2=5\times5=25$

$2^3=2\times2\times2=4\times2=8$

Now let's write the resulting expression:

$125:25\times8=$

Since the only operations in the expression are multiplication and division, we will solve the expression from left to right

In other words, we will divide first and then multiply:

$125:25=5$

$5\times8=40$
