. Now, the expression is:
.
We can now simplify the bottom to read: because when multiplying variables raised to an exponent, we add the exponents. The expression now looks like:
The 2/8 simplifies to 1/4:
Now, we have two u terms on the top and bottom. When dividing variables raised to an exponent, we subtract the exponents. However, since 3-5=-2, the term will be on the bottom to avoid the negative exponent. The final answer is:
