Let the two numbers be x and y

x + y = 5(x-y)
x + y = 5x -5y
6y = 4x
x= (6/4)y
x= (3/2)y

there the ratio is 3/2

Answer:

6a^5b^7

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable rule of exponents is ...

(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

It looks like you want to simplify ...

$3a^3b^2\times 2a^2b^5=(3\cdot2)a^{3+2}b^{2+5}=\boxed{6a^5b^7}$
