Rewrite the expression as a single fraction. (15)3=1125(\frac{1}{5})^{3}=\frac{1}{125}

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. We are given the expression (15)3\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^{3}.
2. We need to rewrite this expression as a single fraction.
3. The numerator of the fraction has already been rewritten as 1 because 1111 \cdot 1 \cdot 1 equals 1.

STEP 2

Understand the exponent rule for fractions. When a fraction is raised to a power, both the numerator and the denominator are raised to that power.
(ab)n=anbn\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^n = \frac{a^n}{b^n}

STEP 3

Apply the exponent rule to the given expression.
(15)3=1353\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^{3} = \frac{1^3}{5^3}

STEP 4

Calculate the numerator of the fraction.
13=11^3 = 1

STEP 5

Calculate the denominator of the fraction.
53=5555^3 = 5 \cdot 5 \cdot 5

STEP 6

Compute the value of 535^3.
53=555=1255^3 = 5 \cdot 5 \cdot 5 = 125

STEP 7

Combine the numerator and the denominator to form the single fraction.
(15)3=1125\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^{3} = \frac{1}{125}
Therefore, the expression (15)3\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^{3} can be rewritten as 1125\frac{1}{125}, and the square in the original problem statement should be filled with the number 125.
(15)3=151515=1125 \left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^{3}=\frac{1}{5} \cdot \frac{1}{5} \cdot \frac{1}{5}=\frac{1}{125}
