Final Answer: \(\boxed{0.003}\)

Steps

Step 1 :Divide the coefficients (the numbers before the 'times 10 to the power of' part). In this case, \(\frac{15}{5} = 3.0\)

Step 2 :Subtract the exponent of the denominator from the exponent of the numerator. In this case, \(-5 - (-2) = -3\)

Step 3 :Combine the results of the previous steps to get the final answer. In this case, \(3.0 \times 10^{-3} = 0.003\)

Step 4 :Final Answer: \(\boxed{0.003}\)
