Question
The image displays a mathematical expression that needs to be simplified. The problem is presented as follows:

"Simplify the given expression. Present your answer."

\[
\left(\frac{-3p^8q^2r^7}{15p^5q^2r^5}\right)^3 = \, \underline{\hspace{2cm}}
\]

There are options below the expression:

- Add Work
- Next Question

This is a complex fraction raised to the third power. To simplify it, follow these steps:

1. Simplify the fraction before raising it to the power:
   - Simplify the coefficients: \(-3\) and \(15\) reduce to \(-\frac{1}{5}\).
   - Simplify the powers of \(p\): \(p^8\) divided by \(p^5\) equals \(p^{8-5} = p^3\).
   - Simplify the powers of \(q\): \(q^2\) divided by \(q^2\) equals \(q^{2-2} = q^0 = 1\).
   - Simplify the powers of \(r\): \(r^7\) divided by \(r^5\) equals \(r^{7-5} = r^2\).

   The simplified expression inside the parentheses is:

   \[
   \left(\frac{-1p^3r^2}{5}\right)^3
   \]

2. Raise each part of the expression to the third power:
   - \(\left(-\frac{1}{5}\right)^3 = -\frac{1}{125}\)
   - \((p^3)^3 = p^9\)
   - \((r^2)^3 = r^6\)

3. Combine these results:

   \[
   -\frac{p^9r^6}{125}
   \]

This expression should be entered into the provided box next to the original equation.
