I do not know exactly how the question is worded in case some parentheses are missing.
Case 1:
(3/8)a<sup>3y</sup><sup>5</sup>
... no change required.
Case 2:
use the identity
1/a<sup>m</sup> = a<sup>-m</sup>
3/(8a<sup>3</sup>y<sup>5</sup>)
=(3/8)a<sup>-3</sup>y<sup>-5</sup>
Case 1:
(3/8)a<sup>3y</sup><sup>5</sup>
... no change required.
Case 2:
use the identity
1/a<sup>m</sup> = a<sup>-m</sup>
3/(8a<sup>3</sup>y<sup>5</sup>)
=(3/8)a<sup>-3</sup>y<sup>-5</sup>
