Answer 1

Quoteint of powers
(x^m)/(x^n)=x^(m-n)

we know that 8=x^3

so
(2^5)/8=2^2 can be rewritten as
(2^5)/(2^3)=2^2
and 5-3=2 so it's true

answer is
third one
by simplifieng 8 to 2^3 to make both powers base two, and subtraction the exponents

Answer 2

First, let's write the expression using numbers 

(2^5)/8 = 2^2 

Now, 8 = 2^3. So we can sub 

(2^5)/(2^3) = 2^2 

Now, there's a rule that states that (a^m)/(a^n) = a^(m-n) 

so (2^5)/(2^3) = 2^(5-3) = 2^2 

So the statement stands. 

The answer is C
