Answer:

4^12 y^24

Explanation:

(16y^5/4y^3)^12

Simplify inside the parentheses

(16/4 * y^5/y^3) ^ 12

When dividing the bases to the exponent, we keep the base and subtract the exponent

(4 y^(5-3)) ^12

(4 y^2) ^12

Remember (ab)^c = a^c * b^c

4^12 y^2^12

When we have a power to a power, we can multiply the exponents

a^b^c =a^(b*c)

4^12 y^(2*12)

4^12 y^24
