Solution Steps

To evaluate the expression \(-3\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^{0}\), we need to remember that any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is 1. Therefore, the expression simplifies to \(-3 \times 1\).

Step 1: Evaluate the Exponent

The expression given is \(-3\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^{0}\). According to the properties of exponents, any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1. Therefore, \(\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^{0} = 1\).

Step 2: Simplify the Expression

Substitute the result from Step 1 into the original expression: \[ -3 \times 1 = -3 \]

Final Answer

\(\boxed{-3}\)
