To simplify the expression 10 - 3^2 / (1/5)^2, first evaluate the exponent 3^2 which equals 9. Then calculate (1/5)^2 which equals 1/25.
Now, substitute the calculated values back into the expression:
10 - 9 / (1/25).
Next, perform the division:
10 - 9 * 25.
Multiply the numerator and denominator of the fraction:
10 - 225.
Finally, subtract the value:
-215.
Therefore, the simplified expression is -215.
Simplify the expression 10 – 3 squared over (1 over 5) squared.

Apologies for the mistake in my previous response. Let's simplify the expression correctly.
The expression 10 - 3^2 / (1/5)^2 can be simplified as follows:
10 - 9 / (1/5)^2
10 - 9 / (1/25)
10 - 9 * 25
10 - 225
-215
Therefore, the correct simplified expression is -215.
