The rule for multiplying similar bases with exponents:
(a^b)(a^c)=a^(b+c)
In this case we have:
(5^-2)(5^-1)
5^(-2-1)
5^(-3)
The rule for negative exponents:
a^(-b)=1/(a^b)
So in this case:
5^(-3) is equal to
1/(5^3)
1/125
When you see this kind of question use « BODMAS »
1.Add the 2 digits which is 3+7=10
2.Add the digits inside which is 0.7+1.3=2
3.Add the inside and outside
3+7(0.7+1.3)
10(2)=20
