Problem 69

The link between positive and negative exponents \(\left(a^{-n}=\frac{1}{a^{n}}\right)\) along with the property \(\frac{a^{n}}{a^{m}}=a^{n-m}\) can also be used when reducing fractions. Consider this example: $$ \frac{x^{3}}{x^{7}}=x^{3-7}=x^{-4}=\frac{1}{x^{4}} $$ Use this approach to express each fraction in reduced form. Give all answers with positive exponents only. $$\frac{x^{4} y^{3}}{x^{7} y^{5}}$$

Problem 70
