Answer = A \(= 6^5\)

\(\frac{30^{10}}{150^5} = \frac{30^5 * 30^5}{30^5 * 5^5} = \frac{30^5}{5^5} = \frac{6^5 * 5^5}{5^5} = 6^5\)

30^10 / 150^5=?

A. 6^5
B. 5^6
C. 3^6
D. 6^3
E. 15^3


-> 30^10 / 150^5=(30^10)/(5^5)(30^5)=(30^5)/(5^5)=(6^5)(5^5)/(5^5)=6^5.
Thus, A is the answer.

\(30^{10}/150^5=?\)

A. \(6^5\)
B. \(6^{30}\)
C. \(5^{30}\)
D. \(6^{10}\)
E. \(15^{10}\)

\(30^{10}/150^5\) = \(30^{10}/(30^5*5^5)\) = \(30^{5}/(5^5)\) = \(5^5*6^{5}/(5^5)\) = \((6^5)\)

\(30^{10}/150^5=?\)

A. \(6^5\)
B. \(6^{30}\)
C. \(5^{30}\)
D. \(6^{10}\)
E. \(15^{10}\)

Another approach:

\(\frac{30^{10}}{150^5}=\frac{(30^5)(30^5)}{(30^5)(5^5)}\)

\(= \frac{(30^5)}{(5^5)}\)

\(= (\frac{30}{5})^5\)

\(= 6^5\)

Since we need to find out the value of \(30^{10}/150^5\),

there are 5 such sets of \(\frac{30^{2}}{150}\)
Each of these sets would give us a value of 6. Hence we could get a value for the expression \(6^5\)(Option A)

\(30^{10}/150^5=?\)

A. \(6^5\)
B. \(6^{30}\)
C. \(5^{30}\)
D. \(6^{10}\)
E. \(15^{10}\)

We can simplify the given expression:

(30^10)/(150^5)

(30^10)/[(30 x 5)^5]

30^10/(30^5 x 5^5)

(30^5)(30^5)/(30^5 x 5^5)

30^5/5^5 = 6^5

\(\frac{30^{10}}{150^5}=?\)

A. 6^5
B. 5^6
C. 3^6
D. 6^3
E. 15^3


* A solution will be posted in two days.

This is how i solved

(3^10 *10 ^10 ) / 3^5 * 50 ^5 can be simplified to


=( 3^10 * 10^10 ) / ( 3^5 * 10^5 * 5^5 )

( 3^10-5 * 10^ 10 -5 ) / 5^5
= ( 3^5 * 10^5 ) / 5^5

- 3^5 * 5^5* 2*5 / 5^5
= 3^5 *2^5 *5^5-5
= 3^5 * 2^5
take Exponent as common

( 3*2)^5 = 6 ^5 ans A
