1. Problem Description

Simplify the expression log10125log1025\frac{\log_{10} 125}{\log_{10} 25}.

2. Solution Steps

We want to simplify the expression log10125log1025\frac{\log_{10} 125}{\log_{10} 25}.
We can rewrite 125125 as 535^3 and 2525 as 525^2. Therefore, the expression becomes
log1053log1052\frac{\log_{10} 5^3}{\log_{10} 5^2}.
Using the logarithm property logb(ac)=clogba\log_b(a^c) = c \log_b a, we have
3log1052log105\frac{3 \log_{10} 5}{2 \log_{10} 5}.
Since log105\log_{10} 5 is a non-zero value, we can cancel log105\log_{10} 5 from the numerator and the denominator.
3log1052log105=32\frac{3 \log_{10} 5}{2 \log_{10} 5} = \frac{3}{2}.

3. Final Answer

3/2
