yanasidlinskiy · Answer

My answer was 25......HOw is that wrong?

yanasidlinskiy · Answer

Never mind...Yes. I need help.

mathslover · Answer

$\color{red}{5^3} \div 25 - 5 $ 

We will first solve the term in red.

mathslover · Answer

$\color{Red}{125} \div 25 - 5$

Right?

yanasidlinskiy · Answer

Yes which we get 125.

yanasidlinskiy · Answer

Yes.

mathslover · Answer

Good. Now we will solve the term in blue : $\color{blue}{125 \div 25} - 5$ = $\color{blue}{5} - 5$  

Right?

yanasidlinskiy · Answer

yanasidlinskiy · Answer

Thanks!

mathslover · Answer

Naah! Don't feel dumb. Maths is fun.... it helps you itself... just love those numbers and they will direct you accordingly! :D

yanasidlinskiy · Answer

Ya. I love it too..But it makes me ssoo mad when I can't get the right answer.

mathslover · Answer

You might have done that question as : 

$\cfrac{5^3}{25} - 5 $ 

$\cfrac{5 \times 5 \times 5 }{5 \times 5} - 5 \
\cfrac{\cancel{5 \times 5} \times 5}{\cancel{5 \times 5} } - 5 \
\cfrac{1  \times 5}{1} - 5\
5 - 5 \
\bf{0} $
