Correct Option
Explanation
Factor 20 into a perfect square and another number, which is 4 * 5. Taking the square root of 4 gives 2, which leaves us with the simplified form 2*sqrt(5).

The arrangement of the rational numbers -7/10, -5/8, and -2/3 in ascending order is:
A. -2/3, -5/8, -7/10
B. -5/8, -7/10, -2/3
C. -7/10, -5/8, -2/3
D. -7/10, -2/3, -5/8

Correct Option
Explanation
For negative numbers, a larger absolute magnitude equates to a smaller value. Evaluating them: -7/10 = -0.700, -2/3 ≈ -0.667, -5/8 = -0.625. Ordering these from smallest to largest yields -7/10, -2/3, -5/8.

Correct Option
Explanation
Raising to the power of 1/3 means finding the cube root. The cube root of 125 is 5, since 5 cubed (5 * 5 * 5) is equal to 125.

Correct Option
Explanation
When multiplying powers of 10, the base remains 10 and the exponents are summed. The sum of 3 and 4 is 7, making the final expression 10^7.

Correct Option
Explanation
The number 54 can be divided by the perfect cube 27 (27 * 2 = 54). Evaluating the cube root of 27 gives 3, so the expression simplifies to 3*cbrt(2).

Correct Option
Explanation
When a term with an exponent is raised to an additional power, the exponents are multiplied. Multiplying 3 by 5 yields 15, making the simplified term z^15.

Correct Option
Explanation
A negative exponent flips the position of the term in a fraction. Changing y^-4 to a positive exponent moves it to the denominator, becoming 1/y^4.
