#(2²a³b²)/(4²b⁵)=a^3/(4b^3)#

Explanation:

#(2²a³b²)/(4²b⁵)#

= #(color(blue)(2xx2)xxaxxaxxaxxcolor(red)(bxxb))/(color(blue)(2xx2)xx2xx2xxcolor(red)(bxxb)xxbxxbxxb)#

= #(cancel(color(blue)(2xx2))xxaxxaxxaxxcancel(color(red)(bxxb)))/(cancel(color(blue)(2xx2))xx2xx2xxcancel(color(red)(bxxb))xxbxxbxxb)#

= #a^3/(4b^3)#
