5^5/5^2
A. 5^1
B. 5^2
C. 5^3
D. 5^4
Is the answer B?
Thanks a bunch
B is not the correct answer. You subtracted 5 - 3 = 2, instead of 5 - 2 = 3.
Therefore, B is not the correct answer, and C is actually the right one.
I hope this helps! :)
P.S. With all algebraic equations, you need to pay more attention to what numbers there are, what operations to use, which like base operations to use, and the exponents.
Thank You so much.

To solve this question, we need to simplify the expression 5^5/5^2.
When dividing two exponential expressions with the same base, like in this case, we subtract the exponents. So, 5^5/5^2 becomes 5^(5-2).
Now we can simplify the exponent by subtracting 2 from 5. We get 5^3.
Therefore, the answer to the expression 5^5/5^2 is 5^3.
So, the correct answer is C. 5^3.
You're welcome! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
