Multiply and simplify
8y^5/5x^3 times 25x^5/64y
I came up with 5y^4x^2/8 is that correct
-------------------------
[8y^5/5x^3] times [25x^5/64y]
---
Cancel factors common to a numerator and a denominator
such as 8,5,y,x^3
-----
[y^4/1] times [5x^2/8]
------------
= (5/8)x^2y^4
===================
You are correct
