On dividing both the numerator and the denominator of
by 5b, the result is
.
In order to evaluate and solve this expression, we would have to apply the PEMDAS rule, where mathematical operations within the parenthesis (grouping symbols) are first of all evaluated, followed by exponent, and then multiplication or division from the left side of the expression to the right.
Lastly, the mathematical operations of addition or subtraction would be performed from left to right.
Note: Let the variable x represent the unknown expression or missing term.
Based on the information provided, we can logically set up the following mathematical equation:
![(20a^2b)/(5ab^2) / (x)/(x) =(4a)/(b)](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/gmkb7czfdp3bvcl58cc32idpmzaj3dsapv.png)
Next, we would solve the equation in parts by using the numerators and denominators as follows;
![20a^2b / x = 4a\\\\(20a^2b)/(x) =4a\\\\x4a=20a^2b\\\\x=(20a^2b)/(4a) \\\\x=5a\\\\\\\\(5ab^2)/(x) =b\\\\xb=5ab^2\\\\x=(5ab^2)/(b) \\\\x=5a](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/cfbju5tdkk6my8d1yhxkk2lrml096ugcb7.png)
