Simplify the expression 6^-1a^-3b^4/5^-2 ab^5 so that it uses postive exponents. only

I assume this is:

 

[6^-1a^-3b^4] / [5^-2 ab^5]  =       [the constants / variables with the negative exponents are brought across the fraction bar and their exponents change to a positive]

 

[5^2 * b^4] / [ 6^1 * a^3 * a * b^5]  =

 

[25  b^4] / [ 6 * a^4 * b^5 ]  =    note......    [b^4 / b^5]  =  [1 / b]

 

[25 ] / [ 6* a^4 *b]

 

 

cool cool cool
