%281210b%5E4v%5E5%29%2F%281100v%5E2b%29 Start with the given expression.



b%5E%284-1%29v%5E%285-2%29 Remember when you divide monomials, you subtract their corresponding exponents. For instance x%5E2%2Fx%5E3=x%5E%282-3%29=x%5E-1


%2811%2F10%29b%5E3v%5E3 Simplify. Remember to reduce the coefficients (which are numbers in front of the variables) to get 1210%2F1100=11%2F10.
