1. Problem Description

The problem asks to simplify the expression log10125log1025\frac{\log_{10} 125}{\log_{10} 25}.

2. Solution Steps

We can rewrite 125 as 535^3 and 25 as 525^2. Thus, we have:
log10125=log1053=3log105\log_{10} 125 = \log_{10} 5^3 = 3 \log_{10} 5
log1025=log1052=2log105\log_{10} 25 = \log_{10} 5^2 = 2 \log_{10} 5
The expression then becomes:
log10125log1025=3log1052log105\frac{\log_{10} 125}{\log_{10} 25} = \frac{3 \log_{10} 5}{2 \log_{10} 5}
Since log1050\log_{10} 5 \neq 0, we can cancel out the log105\log_{10} 5 terms.
3log1052log105=32\frac{3 \log_{10} 5}{2 \log_{10} 5} = \frac{3}{2}
