Answer

$(\frac{3x}{2y}$$)^{3}$

Work Step by Step

Given : $\frac{27x^{3}}{8y^{3}}$ Now, $27=3^{3}$ and $8=2^{3}$ Hence, the expression can be written as : $\frac{3^{3}x^{3}}{2^{3}y^{3}}$ Since $a^{m}b^{m}=$ $(ab)^{m}$, hence $3^{3}x^{3}=$ $(3x)^{3}$ and $2^{3}y^{3}=$ $(2y)^{3}$ Thus, this becomes : $\frac{(3x)^{3}}{(2y)^{3}}$ This becomes : $(\frac{3x}{2y}$$)^{3}$ (since $\frac{a^{m}}{b^{m}}=$ ($\frac{a}{b}$$)^{m}$)
