[ a2 / 3 · b3 ] x [ a2 · b1/2 ] / [ a3/2 · 2b1/4 ]
When multiplying similiar terms, add the exponent; when dividing similar terms, subtract the exponents.
For the a's: a2 x a2 / a3/2 = a[ 2 + 2 - 3/2 ] = a5/2
For the b's: b1/2 / b3 / b1/4 = b[ 1/2 - 3 - 1/4 ] = b-11/4 = 1/b11/4
Multiplying the numbers; 3 x 2 = 6 (in the denominator)
Answer: a5/2 / [ 6 · b11/4 ]
