To write the expression \( 2^3 \cdot 5^3 \) in expanded form, we will expand both terms separately.
- \( 2^3 = 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \)
- \( 5^3 = 5 \cdot 5 \cdot 5 \)
Now, we can combine these expanded forms:
\[ 2^3 \cdot 5^3 = (2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2) \cdot (5 \cdot 5 \cdot 5) \]
In total, this gives us:
\[ 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 5 \cdot 5 \cdot 5 \]
Therefore, the expression in expanded form is:
\[ 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 5 \cdot 5 \cdot 5 \]
