B 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2
C 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2
D 3 + 1/2

Q1. The answer is D. x4

Let's first rewrite the expression:
x⁵y²/xy² = x⁵/x * y²/y²

Using the rule xᵃ/xᵇ = x(ᵃ⁻ᵇ), we can write the expression as following:
x⁵y²/xy² = x⁵/x * y²/y² = x⁵⁻¹ * y²⁻² = x⁴ * y⁰ = x⁴ * 1 = x⁴

Thus, the correct answer is D.

Q2. The answer is A. 5(5^3/2/5)^2

125 in the form of exponent is 5³.
125 = 5³
Now, let's calculate all choices. 
 
The rules we will use are:
xᵃ * xᵇ = x(ᵃ⁺ᵇ)
xᵃ/xᵇ = x(ᵃ⁻ᵇ)
(xᵃ)ᵇ = xᵃ*ᵇ

A. 5(5³/2/5)² = 5 * (5³ * 5/2)²
                      = 5 * (5³⁺¹/2)²
                      = 5 * (5⁴/2)²
                      = 5 * (5⁴)²/(2)²
                      = 5 * 5⁴*²/4
                      = 5 * 5⁸ / 4
                      = 5¹⁺⁸ / 4
                      = 5⁹/4
                      ≠ 5³ ≠ 125

B. (5³/5⁴)⁻³ = (5³⁻⁴)⁻³
                   = (5⁻¹)⁻³
                   = 5⁽⁻¹⁾*⁽⁻³⁾
                   = 5³
                   = 125

C. 5⁻²/5⁻⁵  = 5⁽⁻²⁾⁻⁽⁻⁵) 
                  = 5⁽⁻²⁾⁺⁵
                  = 5³
                  = 125

D. 5(5⁵/5³) = 5 * 5⁵⁻³
                  = 5 * 5²
                  = 5¹⁺²
                  = 5³

ANSWER: Option B

Answer: 440 grams for 1.54 is the better value
Explanation:
Take the price and divide by the number of grams
1.54 / 440 =0.0035 per gram
1.26 / 340 =0.003705882 per gram
0.0035 per gram < 0.003705882 per gram
