Ok, so 1 is a whole number. 1/5 is a fraction of 1. So you want to subtract 1/5 from 1. The number 1 is equal to 5/5. So if you subtract 1/5 from 5/5 you are left with 4/5. You do the same with the second one, just subtract 3/5 from 5/5 to get your answer.

What you want to do is convert the 1, a whole number into a fraction. Since the denominator is 5, 5/5 makes 1 whole. So your question now reads, 5/5 - 1/5. Change any equation so that you have all common denominators
The second problem the whole number is still 5/5. So the equation becomes 5/5 - 3/5. With common denominators, it becomes a simple subtraction, 5 - 1 and 5 - 3 Hope it helped!

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

The voltage in exponential form would be $(\frac{3}{5})^3$ .

The original voltage in the circuit is $\frac{3}{5}$ of a volt.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the original voltage.

We have been given that the voltage in an electrical circuit is multiplied by itself each time it is reduced. The voltage is 27/125 of a volt and it has been reduced 3 times.

The original voltage multiplied by itself for 3 times would be $x\cdot x\cdot x=x^3$ .
