Simplify \(\frac{25 \frac{2}{3} \div 25 \frac{1}{6}}{( \frac{1}{5})^{-\frac{7}{6}} \times ( \frac{1}{5})^{\frac{1}{6}}}\)
- A. 25
- B. \(\frac{1}{5}\)
- C. 1
- D. \(\frac{1}{25}\)
Correct Answer: C. 1
Explanation
\(\frac{25 \frac{2}{3} \div 25 \frac{1}{6}}{( \frac{1}{5})^{-\frac{7}{6}} \times ( \frac{1}{5})^{\frac{1}{6}}}\) = \(\frac{25^{4 - \frac{1}{6}}}{(\frac{1}{5})^{-7 + \frac{1}{6}}}\)
= \(\frac{25^{\frac{1}{2}}}{(\frac{1}{5})^{-1}}\)
= \(\frac{(5^2)^{\frac{1}{2}}}{(5^{-1})^{-1}}\)
= \(\frac{5}{5}\)
= 1
