Comment on math symbols
The caret (^) signifies exponentiation. your number 5^3/4 = (5^3)/4 = 125/4 = 31.25. This is not the mixed number you apparently intend.
A mixed number is customarily written with a space between the integer and the fraction. In an expression, this can be confusing, so I generally put parentheses around a mixed number that is part of an expression.
