Answer:

The answer is 1/625

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason is because 5a = 1/125

Therefore, to find the value of "a" we need to divide!

So, a = 1/125 / 5

           ⇒ 1/125 × 1/5    ( Reciprocal when we divide )                                                        

             ⇒ 1/125 × 5

             → 1/625

I hope this answer helps!
