To apply the properties of integer exponents, we can use the following rules:
1) Any number raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1.
2) To change a negative exponent to a positive exponent, we can take the reciprocal of the base and switch the sign of the exponent.
Using these rules, we can rewrite the expression as:
4^0 ⋅ 5^(-2) / (-2)^(-3)
Since 4^0 is equal to 1, we can simplify further:
1 ⋅ 5^(-2) / (-2)^(-3)
To change the negative exponents to positive exponents, we take the reciprocal and switch the sign:
1 ⋅ 1 / (1 / (-2)^3 * 5^2)
Simplifying further, we get:
1 ⋅ 1 / (1 / (-8) * 25)
Multiplying the numerators and denominators, we have:
1 / (-25 / 8)
To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by the reciprocal:
1 * 8 / -25
Simplifying the expression, we finally get:
-8 / 25

Simplifying further, we get:
1 / (1/(-8) * 1/25)
To divide by a fraction, we multiply by the reciprocal:
1 * (25/1) / (1/(-8))
Simplifying the expression, we finally get:
25 / (1/(-8))
To divide by a fraction, we multiply by the reciprocal:
25 * (-8/1)
Simplifying the expression, we get:
