15*(1/5)2-8*1/5

Let's simplify the expression step by step: 1. First, let's handle the first part: \( 15 \times \left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^2 \). - Calculate \( \left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{25} \). - Next, multiply: \( 15 \times \frac{1}{25} = \frac{15}{25} = \frac{3}{5} \). 2. Now, let's simplify the second part: \( 8 \times \frac{1}{5} \). - This becomes \( \frac{8}{5} \). 3. Now combine the two results: - \( \frac{3}{5} - \frac{8}{5} = \frac{3 - 8}{5} = \frac{-5}{5} = -1 \). So, the final result is \(-1\).
