Answer

$\frac{x^{3}}{y^{3}}$

Work Step by Step

Step 1: $(\frac{x^{-3}y^{-4}}{x^{-2}y^{-5}})^{-3}$ Step 2: $\frac{(x^{-3}y^{-4})^{-3}}{(x^{-2}y^{-5})^{-3}}$ Step 3: $\frac{(x^{-3})^{-3}(y^{-4})^{-3}}{(x^{-2})^{-3}(y^{-5})^{-3}}$ Step 4: $\frac{x^{9}y^{12}}{x^{6}y^{15}}$ Step 5: $x^{9-6}y^{12-15}$ Step 6: $x^{3}y^{-3}$ Step 7: $\frac{x^{3}}{y^{3}}$
