Please help me solve this expression: 125^-1/3
----
The negative in the exponent means "invert".
That 3 in the denominator of the exponent means "take the cube root".
----
These instructions may be followed in any direction.
If you 1st invert you get:
(1/125)^(1/3)
If you then take the cube root you get:
1/5
