Apologies for the confusion. Let's break down the expression step by step:

We start with the expression: 5a^4b^2c/a^3b

To simplify the expression, we use the exponent rules.

First, let's simplify the variables with exponents:

a^4/a^3 = a^(4-3) = a^1 = a

b^2/b = b^(2-1) = b^1 = b

So far, we have: 5ab

Now, let's look at the c variable. In the original expression, there is no exponent specified for c. When there is no exponent written for a variable, it is assumed to have an exponent of 1.

Therefore, the simplified exponent of c is 1.

Overall, the simplified expression is 5ab.
