With 80 flowers, the ratio would be

80:x

OverLord2011 [107]

$( \dfrac{20x}{5x^8})^-^3$

Take out the constants

$( \dfrac{20}{5} * \dfrac{x}{x^8} ) ^-^3$

$(4*\dfrac{x}{x^8} ) ^-^3$

Use the rule : $\frac{{x}^{a}}{{x}^{b}}={x}^{a-b}
$

$(4x^1^-^8)^-^3$

$(4x^-^7)^-^3$

Use the negative power rule : ${x}^{-a}=\frac{1}{{x}^{a}}
$

$\frac{1}{4(x^-^7)}^-^3$

$\frac{1}{4^3(x^-^7)}^-^3$

$\dfrac{1}{64x^-^2^1}$

$\dfrac{1}{64* \dfrac{1}{x^2^1}}$

$\dfrac{1}{64 \dfrac{}{x^2^1}}$

$= \dfrac{x^2^1}{64}$
