1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $\left(5\sqrt{8}\right)^{\frac{5}{2}} \times 16^{-\frac{3}{2}}$.
2. **Rewrite the terms:** Recall that $\sqrt{8} = 8^{\frac{1}{2}}$ and $16 = 2^4$.
3. **Express inside the first term:**
$$5\sqrt{8} = 5 \times 8^{\frac{1}{2}} = 5 \times \left(2^3\right)^{\frac{1}{2}} = 5 \times 2^{\frac{3}{2}}$$
4. **Rewrite the first term with powers:**
$$\left(5 \times 2^{\frac{3}{2}}\right)^{\frac{5}{2}} = 5^{\frac{5}{2}} \times \left(2^{\frac{3}{2}}\right)^{\frac{5}{2}} = 5^{\frac{5}{2}} \times 2^{\frac{3}{2} \times \frac{5}{2}} = 5^{\frac{5}{2}} \times 2^{\frac{15}{4}}$$
5. **Rewrite the second term:**
$$16^{-\frac{3}{2}} = \left(2^4\right)^{-\frac{3}{2}} = 2^{4 \times -\frac{3}{2}} = 2^{-6}$$
6. **Combine the terms:**
$$5^{\frac{5}{2}} \times 2^{\frac{15}{4}} \times 2^{-6} = 5^{\frac{5}{2}} \times 2^{\frac{15}{4} - 6}$$
7. **Simplify the exponent of 2:**
$$\frac{15}{4} - 6 = \frac{15}{4} - \frac{24}{4} = -\frac{9}{4}$$
8. **Final expression:**
$$5^{\frac{5}{2}} \times 2^{-\frac{9}{4}}$$
9. **Optional: express in radical form:**
$$5^{\frac{5}{2}} = \left(5^{\frac{1}{2}}\right)^5 = \left(\sqrt{5}\right)^5$$
$$2^{-\frac{9}{4}} = \frac{1}{2^{\frac{9}{4}}} = \frac{1}{\left(2^{\frac{1}{4}}\right)^9} = \frac{1}{\left(\sqrt[4]{2}\right)^9}$$
**Answer:**
$$\boxed{5^{\frac{5}{2}} \times 2^{-\frac{9}{4}}}$$
