You have to reduce the fraction 10/6 and when the bases are the same (as in the y's) subtract the exponents...
Another way of saying that is that on the top you have yyyy while on the bottom you have only one y, so you can reduce the y's... and there would be three y's left on top.
I would be happy to check your new answer : )
10x^-5 y^4 / 6y (no decimals)
i figured it was y^4 / 60xy^5 but im not sure

nope.
10/6 x^-5 y^4/y = 5y^3 / 3x^5
10/6 x^-5 y^4/y = 5y^3 / 3x^5
Or oobleck will be happy to supply you with the correct answer : )
